A 39-year-old male was shot and killed by a 22-year-old woman as he tried to force his way into her Cleveland residence on Thursday, Aug. 5. 

In an incident that reports call "an attempted burglary," the man, who lived in the upstairs portion of the split home, attempted to force his way into the downstairs unit at 9:30 a.m. The woman armed herself with a gun and fired at the intruder, striking him once in the head and killing him.

Police announced that the 22-year-old woman has been released, pending further investigation into the shooting.

From the Armed Citizen® Archives October 1968

Using a .32-cal. pistol he bought last year after being stabbed in the head by a holdup man, Leon Beach, 53, a Newark, NJ., grocer, routed 3 gunmen who tried to rob him and his partner, Joseph Opatowski.

Beach drew his holstered pistol and fired a shot which sent 2 of the gunmen running. The third, holding a pistol to Opatowski's head, stood his ground. Beach dropped him with a bullet that wounded him critically. (The New York Sunday News, New York, NY)
