PONTIAC, MI -- A man suspected of trying to break into a Pontiac house was shot to death by a resident of the home Monday night, according to police.

Oakland County sheriff's deputies were called to the home on West Longfellow Avenue just before midnight Monday after 911 caller reported a home invasion in progress.

When deputies arrived, they found a 23-year-old man dressed in all black outside the home with a gunshot wound to the chest.

He was later pronounced dead at McLaren Oakland Hospital.

Police took as evidence a .45-caliber gun that was registered to the man who fired shots.

Investigators separately interviewed the man, another 23-year-old who lived at the home, and the 67-year-old homeowner.

Information collected in the investigation would be forwarded to the prosecutor's office for review, police siad.

An incident of drive-by gunfire earlier this month left the same home with six bullet holes, according to police. A neighboring home was struck three times.
