This is despite the apartment dweller allegedly going outside to confront the person.
Donald Lee Blakney, 29, was shot and killed during a break-in at an apartment, officers said.
The occupant woke up went outside and confronted the suspect when they got into a scuffle and the occupant shot and killed Blakney.
"I was walking into the living room from the bedroom, and I heard a muffled noise that I thought could have been a shot," resident Dewain Cherry said.
Cherry heard more shots fired.
"There were two more shots that were extremely loud and scared me and I dialed 911," Cherry said.
Police said it appears to be a case of self-defense, even though Blakney was not armed. A firearms expert said that is state law.
"If you're attacked by someone, say he's breaking in your house and he comes at you and attacks you, you've got a right to use deadly force right then," said Larry Hyatt, with Hyatt Guns.
