NEWPORT -- A woman told a burglar to leave twice before shooting him in the head, Newport police said Monday.
Phyllis Maloney, 63, told officers that a man she did not know walked in the back door of her home at 16th and Monmouth at about 1 a.m.
Maloney said she told the man to leave, but he refused. She said she then got a gun out of a drawer and pointed it at him, again telling him to leave.
When the man refused a second time and started moving toward her, Maloney told officers, she fired. A neighbor's surveillance camera captured the flash of the gunshot.
The man, believed to be in his 20s and wearing only boxer shorts, was found dead in a front room. His name has not been released.
Newport police are still investigating the incident.
Good ending!
