“Police fatally shot a Texas homeowner shortly after the man shot and killed an intruder Thursday night in an alley behind his home. Neighbors said William Hall was reclusive and had recently received notices from the city about uncut grass and other code violations, reported The Dallas Morning News. The suspected burglar, 30-year-old Jerry Hale, apparently believed the homeowner had died before he broke in Thursday night, police said. Hall confronted the intruder, shot him and threatened to shoot him again as he stood over him in an alley behind the Far East Dallas home, investigators said. [..] Police said Hall disregarded orders to drop the weapon, and officers fatally shot him.”
