Video: Suspected intruder shot, killed early Wednesday

Emergency crews found a man lying in the front yard of a home in the area suffering from a gunshot wound. Investigators said the man was trying to break into a home when the homeowner shot him in the chest.

Paramedics took the suspect, identified as Lee M. Harvey, 41,  to CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center, where he later died.

The homeowner was taken to police headquarters for questioning.

There have been at least two other fatal home invasion shootings in recent weeks.

Earlier this month, Tyrell Dalia was shot and killed as he tried to break into an apartment on Main Street in Bellevue. The person who shot him has not been charged.

And in early September, a homeowner in northwest Omaha shot and killed Darrell Miller. The county attorney ruled the homeowner acted in self-defense.
