There was a case in CT years ago where an elderly man heard someone breaking
in to his house.  The alarm company called the police at the same time that
the victim took out his rifle and started to investigate it himself.

The thief apparently took off before the police got there.  As officers took
up positions front and back (standard police procedure in most places), the
homeowner opened the front door and emerged carrying his rifle.  A policeman
shouted to put the gun down.  Apparently not realizing it was a policeman, the
victim turned to face the officer who immediately shot him.

This was reported in the newspapers and ISTR it was in or around Milford, CT,
but I'm not certain of the location.  Maybe Tom remembers better since he
worked in CT too.
