CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Cleveland resident shot and killed an intruder during a shootout that happened after three men forced their way into his home Friday in the city’s Kinsman neighborhood, police said.

The resident and a second intruder were also shot in their arms during the incident, which happened just after 10:30 p.m. on Laisy Avenue near East 93rd Street, according to a police report.

Investigators could not immediately identify the man killed in the shooting. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office will release his name once his family has been notified.

The 30-year-old resident was arrested on a probation violation, but he has not been charged with murder, police said. An Ohio law known as the Castle Doctrine lets a person use deadly force against intruders into their home or car.

The resident told investigators he was in the home when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door, and three men pushed their way into the home, police said.

A struggle ensued, and one of the intruders pulled out a gun. The resident retrieved his own gun, and both men fired shots, police said.

Cleveland police officers arrived just after 10:40 p.m. and found the 30-year-old resident standing in the driveway. The resident waved down the officers and told them a man had been shot in the home, police reports say.

The officers entered the home and found the man on the floor in the kitchen. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators learned the other two intruders ran from the home. One of them, a 28-year-old man, was arrested hours later when he walked in to University Hospitals to be treated for a gunshot wound to the arm, police said.

Investigators recovered two handguns at the scene.

The shooting remains under investigation, police said.
