A Poolesville, Maryland, homeowner shot and killed an intruder Monday morning, the Montgomery County police said.
The man had called 911 to report that someone was trying to break into his home after 9 a.m. in the 18000 block of River Road, across the river from Algonkian Regional Park, the police said.
Shira Goff, a spokeswoman for the police, said gunshots were heard during that call, and responding officers found a dead man inside the house.
鈥淲e don’t believe that they did know each other, and we do believe that this is an isolated incident,鈥� she said.
Police have been interviewing the homeowner, and are looking for any security camera footage of the area. Goff encouraged anyone who saw 鈥渟omeone who was walking around who didn’t look as if they should be here鈥� to notify police.
鈥淲e’re still very early on in the investigation, so we can’t really say too much,鈥� Goff said, 鈥渂ut they’re working to find out exactly what happened this morning.鈥�
