Carlson said the resident was inside the house with his daughter and grandson, and shot Corsbie once in the torso with a .357-caliber handgun after Corsbie tried to force his way inside.

Corsbie, who was standing on the porch at the time, ended up dead on his back in the front lawn, police said. The shooting unfolded as one of the others inside described the events to a police dispatcher on the telephone, police said.

One of the people inside the residence opened the door before the shooting occurred, and Carlson said she did not know why.

1. "tried to get into several homes"? Then got shot? Another criminal career cut short.

2. I feel for the shooter and the criminal's family, but this all could

have been avoided. The crook shouldn't have made people fear for their lives. Often, the only reward for a life of crime is an early death. I wish we could rehabilitate everyone, but I'd rather the bad guys go down than the innocent any day.
