NORFOLK - A man fatally shot on Harvard Street in February had been attempting to break into an apartment, and the man who fired will not be charged, Commonwealth's Attorney Jack Doyle said in a letter released Thursday.
It was about 2 a.m. Feb. 28 when Keith Foreman tried to break into a ground-floor apartment at 416 Harvard St., Doyle wrote in a letter to police, after his review of the case. He said a man and a woman were inside the apartment at the time.
One of them called out to the intruder, but he "continued in his effort to pry open the window," Doyle wrote. The man in the apartment fired a weapon, striking Foreman once.
Later that morning, Foreman's body was found nearby.
Foreman had a 1993 conviction related to a break-in at another home on Harvard Street in which a purse was stolen. He also was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1994, Doyle wrote in the letter. He fought with a man who died six days later of his injuries, The Pilot reported at the time.
Foreman was 6 feet tall and 308 pounds when he died. The shooter had a reasonable fear that both he and the woman in the apartment were in danger, Doyle wrote.

“6 feet tall and 308 pounds”.
Took this one forever to bleed out!
What kinda load do you use for one of those?
.375 H@H magnum.
.600 Nitro Express in a nice H&H double would work, the .700 nitro would be a bit of ostentatious display!
I can’t even spell ostentatious.
;-)
Was he pure fat 300 or one of those would be in good shape at 250 lbs guys?
I’m an example of what happens when you educate redskin rednecks, we get ostentatious and show off our spelling!
Once upon a time, spelling bees were big stuff in elementary schools, I don’t know what they do now. I really speak more like John Kerry, “kin ah git me a huntin lisance hyar”?
12ga flechette rounds or point detonating 12ga slugs would do nicely.
