An investigation is ongoing in Lockland after a home intruder was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Lockland and Hamilton County authorities responded to 603 Maple Street in Lockland around 3 p.m. for the reported home invasion.

Upon arriving, a gunshot victim was discovered. Lockland Police Chief Jim Toles said the shooting victim was pronounced dead after emergency officials worked for about 20 minutes to revive the person.

The deceased hasn't been identified, and police are still trying to determine if the shooting was justifiable.

The man who fired the shot rents the residence at 603 Maple Street, and is cooperating with police, said Toles.

Lockland police were unable to provide additional information. The department declined to comment further on the case Tuesday night.
