BELLEVILLE -- The Orange man who was killed after breaking into a Belleville home was shot with his own gun after the resident wrestled it from his hands, authorities said Friday.

Michael Ridley, 42, was shot after breaking into a Belleville home at about 10 p.m. on Oct. 31, acting Essex County Prosecutor Robert Laurino and Belleville Police Chief Mark Minichini announced in a joint press release Friday.

Ridley broke into the Berton Place home and shot a resident. During a subsequent altercation, the resident "gained control of the weapon" and shot Ridley, the prosecutor's office said.

Ridley ran from the home and collapsed at the nearby Nutley border, where he was later pronounced dead, officials said.

The 32-year-old resident was treated for his injuries and has since been released from the hospital, authorities said.

A prosecutor's office spokeswoman previously confirmed to NJ Advance Media there was another suspect in the home invasion, but did not release more details.

Officials said Friday the investigation into the incident is "active and ongoing." Anyone with information is asked to call the office's tip line at 877-847-7432.
