A man was shot with his own gun while breaking into a unit at the Oak Ridge Apartment Complex just off Blossom Lane.

According to Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace, twenty-eight-year-old Malcolm Robertson had a history with the person living in the apartment and had been under a restraining order.

When Robertson broke in, the person was able to get the gun away from Robertson, then shot him multiple times.

He was declared dead at the scene.

Pace says the restraining order had just ended a few weeks before the incident.

Charges have not been filed at this time. The case will be turned over to the District Attorney’s office for further investigation.
