Pittsburgh police believe an armed home invasion led to a struggle, with the victim getting the gun from the intruder and fatally shooting the attacker on the rear patio of a South Side Slopes home Friday morning.What first brought police to the home in the 100 block of Monastery Avenue was the victim's 911 call reporting a robbery. What officers found when they arrived was a man shot and killed -- which led to a more complicated investigation.Police identified the man killed as Daniel Ling, 18, of Baldwin."There was a (911) call from a resident who said he had been robbed. When police got here, they found a body on the property," Public Safety spokesman Chris Togneri said. "The resident was taken to the hospital first to be treated for a laceration on his head, and then was taken to police headquarters for questioning. But at this point, nobody has been arrested."Police were investigating and gathering evidence for five hours, both inside and outside the house.A man at the home declined comment when approached by Pittsburgh's Action News 4 late Friday afternoon."It is kind of close to home, so it does have me concerned. I'm not sure what happened, but whatever happened, it's kind of scary, because we do live right here," neighbor Ethan King said."I'm glad I wasn't (home) because my bedroom's right next to that house. A stray bullet could have come right through the wall," neighbor William Tyhurst said. "That house, it looks like there's some windows knocked out in the back. The air conditioner is ripped out of the window.""It's unusual because I haven't heard of any break-ins around here or anything. But I don't know. You have to be careful anymore and defend yourself, I guess," Tyhurst said.
