HAMPTON CROSSROADS, Tenn.- A weekend home invasion has the TBI investigating the dramatic chain of events that led to the shooting of a would-be burglar.
The incident happened in the Hamptons Crossroads area in White County.
Police said would-be burglar, 32-year-old Brian Cook from Crossville, was interrupted by the homeowner.
The homeowner said he received a phone call from his daughter about a strange man in the neighborhood banging on windows.
The homeowner returned to find Cook coming out of his house. When the homeowner confronted Cook, the intruder reached for his gun, but the homeowner shot first - killing Cook.
The White County Sheriff said the homeowner did have a permit to carry a gun and was within his right to protect himself.
No word yet on whether charges will be filed.

Why would you need a permit to confront an intruder in your home? Why would any question of charges notbeing filed remain? :banghead:
