Intruder shot dead

Yet another crook threw caution to the wind, likely banking on the chance that his victims wouldn't put up a fight — much less end one with a gun.

And it looks like yet another crook guessed wrong.
What went down?

Police in West Palm Beach, Florida, said a man broke into a home in the 500 block of Avon Road around 4 a.m. Saturday, startling a sleeping couple before one of them fatally shot the intruder after an escalating confrontation, the Palm Beach Post reported.

When cops showed up at the residence in response to a 911 call about a shooting, officers found a man inside suffering from a gunshot wound, police told the paper.
