Man Killed During Jonesboro Home Invasion

Police say a man armed with a shotgun broke into the home about 11 p.m. Friday.

Witnesses told police the homeowner scuffled with the intruder before striking him in the head with a tire iron. The suspected intruder was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

No names were released, and a police supervisor did not immediately return a telephone message left Saturday by The Associated Press.
