A man was shot to death early Wednesday morning at a home in Rockford, the Wright County sheriff's office reported.
A sheriff's release said deputies were called about 3:30 a.m. to a shooting in the 8800 block of Walnut Place. A man had broken into the home of Samantha E. Simons, 21, and was shot by a friend of hers, Eric M. Cegon, 30, of Rockford. She knew the intruder, whose identity deputies were trying to verify.
Investigators were trying to determine if the shooting was justified by self-defense concerns, said Lt. Greg Howell. He couldn't provide any other details.
This is the second instance in about 2 weeks where a homeowner killed an intruder. We don't know any details about this one yet so don't want to jump to any conclusions but there is way to many of these happening these days.
