According to the homeowner he pleaded with Prue to leave his home and the suspect then initiated a physical altercation against the city resident, who then shot Prue in the chest.
Nielsen said Prue is in police custody at the New Haven hospital. He said Prue has not been formally charged while he undergoes medical treatment, but faces a whole host of charges.
The departments investigation revealed a 2000 Volvo grey car registered to Prue was parked a short distance away from the victims home with the trunk lid opened. Inside the vehicle, police found crack cocaine and paraphernalia used to ingest it, police said. The vehicle was seized as evidence.

Thestory reads as if the self-defense shooter was the crackhead? Clarification needed.
Yes, and it’s good he didn’t “lose face”...
: )
Another naked, drug-induced, zombie attack. Thankfully, the homeowner was prepared to deal with that and is ok now.
"...I figure he's not out collecting for the Red Cross..."
Gettin very strange out there....
If Obama had a son, would he look and act like this guy?
Under Connecticut law, one must retreat, if possible, before using reasonable force while in their own residence. At this time, police believe that there is no evidence to charge Mirto with any crime. The evidence is being forwarded to the state attorneys office, which will conduct its own investigation and determine if Mirto acted with a legally-acceptable amount of force.
My note: A homeowner in my former Connecticut town shot himself in the foot while cleaning a gun in his own house and was charged with discharging a weapon within 500 feet of a residence. I don't know what happened with the case but it made the local newspaper.
Note to self: clear my weapon before cleaning it, and, oh yeah, stay away from Connecticut :-)
Interesting - the Register changed the article since I posted it, with a new author and additional details provided by a police presser.
It seems the older the state, the more degenerate it is.
They claim they're more 'civilized', but true civilization does not tolerate criminals or presume to infringe upon that most basic of human rights: self defense.
When Bernie Sanders can get re-elected so many times that should tell you all you need to know about the great state of Conneticutt.
At least the homeowner didn’t have to worry about concealed carry.
With all due respect Sir, the facts are not in evidence, in this case. I do appreciate your service in defense of our nation.
Not sure what facts you are talking about. Are you saying Bernie hasn’t been re-elected? And what did my service have to do with anything?
I greatly respect your service, Sir. Bernie is from Vermont, not Connecticut. Thank you.
Oops, ya’ got me. My appologies.
No need to apologize. I gave up on Connecticut 30 years ago, but some fond memories still remain.
