A man fatally shot an armed intruder with the intruder's gun during an attempted burglary, St. Petersburg police say.
About 12:30 p.m. today, Jack Donaldson entered the back door of his apartment at 1018 22nd Ave. S. to find a masked man with a semi-automatic handgun, St. Petersburg police spokesman Bill Proffitt said.
The two struggled, and the intruder dropped his weapon. Donaldson, 27, picked it up and shot the intruder, whom police identified as Lajuan O. Dandy, 39, of St. Petersburg.
Donaldson chased after another man who ran from the apartment and fired at least one shot at him, but missed, Proffitt said. Police did not have a detailed description of the other man.
Investigators asked anyone with information about the man to call police (727) 893-7780.
