The resident entered his house and found the intruder inside, the release said.

The resident pulled out a pistol he was carrying and began struggling with the intruder, the release said.

The gun fired during the struggle and the intruder ran out of the house, the release said.

It was not known how many shots were fired, a police spokesman said today.

A short time later, a police spokesman said, a man with a gunshot wound was brought to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

The man, believed to be the intruder, apparently called friends for help instead of dialing 911, the spokesman said.

“His friends determined that he needed medical assistance and transported him to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center,” the spokesman said.

Break into someones home, struggle with homeowner when he pulls a gun. Not real smart. Won't make that mistake again. Good for the homeowner. Good for the people of NC too, no expensive trial and housing the dirt bag for a few years.

Hopefully this answers the question of "what if tries to get the gun away from the homeowner?"

A very simple thing happens... generally consists of a flash and bang
