An elderly homeowner in Pennsylvania shot and killed a half-naked home intruder after the intruder attacked him and his wife, authorities say.
The wife was in critical condition in a local hospital after being flown there by helicopter. Her husband was transported there by ambulance.
Before entering the home, police say they received multiple 911 calls reporting that Shaffer was wandering around the street, banging on vehicles. "Obviously this is a very sad situation," said Lt. Mark Magyar of Pennsylvania State Police. "We all have an expectation to safety and privacy in our homes."
It was unclear why Shaffer chose to enter the home. Authorities do not believe he knew the couple beforehand.
