WHITE CITY -- A Jackson County sheriff's spokeswoman says a homeowner in the southern Oregon community of White City fatally shot a man who ran up to his residence, claimed someone was chasing him and then tried to forcibly enter the home.



Sheriff's spokeswoman Andrea Carlson said 49-year-old Mark Corsbie of Medford was killed Monday afternoon. The 65-year-old male homeowner was not immediately identified.



Carlson says evidence gathered from witnesses and the homeowner indicates the shooting was self-defense. The case will be reviewed by the district attorney.



The spokeswoman says one shot was fired from a .357 Magnum.



Carlson says dispatchers received other phone calls regarding the panicked man's erratic behavior. Other neighbors called regarding a man running down the street, trying to get into homes and saying he was being chased.



Detectives are investigating whether mental health issues, alcohol or drugs were involved.
