A Philadelphia woman shot and killed an alleged intruder around 5 a.m. Wednesday and recognized him as her ex-boyfriend once his mask was removed.
ABC 7 reported that the alleged intruder broke into the woman’s apartment through a window and the sound of the breaking glass got her attention. She armed herself and shot the alleged intruder in the head.
He died at the scene.
Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small said, “It appears this individual broke the window, and was able to reach in and open the door, and then entered this woman’s apartment and that’s when the shot – or shots – were fired.”
Responding law enforcement officers removed the alleged intruder’s mask and the woman recognized him as her ex-boyfriend.
CBS News noted that the deceased individual was 29 years of age and the woman “is also in her 20s.”
