Delaware State Police have released the name of the man killed while allegedly breaking into a Bridgeville-area home late Sunday night.

Police say Larry T. Hobbs, a 20-year-old from Laurel, and another man broke into a home in the 11000 block of Iris Field Lane just before midnight. There was someone home, and after a struggle between one of the intruders and the resident, a single bullet was fired from a gun the intruders had, police said.

Hobbs was hit in the chest, police said, and the other intruder fled.

When officers arrived, they found Hobbs lying near the kitchen area with a gunshot wound to his upper torso, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
