Georgia Self-Defense: Homeowner shoots and kills burglar dressed like a woman :: 07/25/2017
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Police say a homeowner shot and killed a man dressed like a woman after he broke into his home.
It happened in Lithonia near Brownsmill Road just after 2 a.m.
Channel 2’s Liz Artz spoke to DeKalb County Police Lt. Lonzy Robertson about the case Monday.
"The homeowner gave him a warning. The suspect continued to approach him at which time the homeowner fired one shot," Robertson said.
He says the homeowner will not be charged because it's been ruled as self-defense.
