St. Louis County, Missouri



From NewsChannel 5 in St. Louis, dated November 20, 2003:
An intruder got more than he bargained for when he broke into a home Tuesday night in North St. Louis County. Police say the man was shot and killed by the owner of the home.



"I really don't feel bad for the intruder. I really don't." That's what Jackie Greco says about the man who was shot and killed after he broke into her neighbor's home around 8:00 p.m. Tuesday in the 11500 block of Lares Drive.



Greco was at home having dinner with her two young daughters when she heard two gunshots, "And they heard this loud noise. I've never heard a gunshot before. They ran into the living room where I was and was scared."



Police say the man entered the couple's home through the basement. He then attacked the couple with what neighbors say was a knife.



The husband was able to get a handgun and shoot the man. The man then staggered out the house, but only got as far as Greco's driveway.
