An investigation indicates the intruder kicked open a rear door to an occupied home in the 6000 block of Southeast Beach Drive, according to Vancouver police. The homeowner confronted the intruder, who charged toward him, police said.

The homeowner then shot the intruder, who fled and collapsed outside, where he died, according to police.

The homeowner and his family weren’t hurt.

Police said Friday afternoon that the intruder hasn’t been identified. Police have not publicly identified the homeowner.

An investigation continues.
