Would-Be Omaha Intruder Dies, Police Say

omaha-policeOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a man who was shot while trying to break into a northeast Omaha home has died.

Police say the home’s lone resident shot the man in the chest around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. The wounded man was found by officers on a sidewalk a few blocks from the home. Police say he died later at an Omaha hospital. He was identified as 41-year-old Lee Harvey.

The resident told police the man had tried to get in through the front door, and Lt. Catherine Milone told the Omaha World-Herald the door was “pretty banged up where he was trying to get in.”

The resident’s name hasn’t been released.
