(INDIANAPOLIS) - Police shot and killed a burglar found hiding in a family’s basement on Indianapolis’ northeast side Monday night.

Officers were called to a home in the 3800 block of North Arlington Avenue just after 7 p.m.

Family members said they came home to find someone had broken into their home, so they called police and waited for officers to arrive.

When police searched the home, they said they found the burglar hiding in the basement.

Officers struggled with the suspect, and shots were fired, hitting the man.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.

Have you considered the possibility that the officers may have been attempting to wrestle a gun from the burglar? The burglar may have been much larger or doped up.

Of course I considered that those possibilities could exist. That is precisely why I said I would wait for more info before passing judgement.

This may, indeed, be a righteous shoot...or not.

The burglar was probably a family man down on his luck with young children and a wife at home. In a desperate attempt to provide his family with a memorable Christmas he did the unthinkable and broke into a residence. He had every intention of making restitution as soon as Obama helped him to get back on his feet. /S
