There were no injuries reported. The men fled the scene and left in a newer model gray SUV-type vehicle, according to police.

Minnesota: Oldster kills home invader: “A 73-year-old Coon Rapids man who shot and killed an apparent intruder Monday night “appears unlikely” to face charges, a top Anoka County investigator said today. The resident told police he was awakened to sounds of what he thought was someone breaking into his house on Bittersweet Street in Coon Rapids, sheriff’s Capt. Bob Aldrich said. He grabbed a rifle that he kept in his bedroom around the time a man in his late teens or early 20s entered the room. “(The resident) fired a single shot, and the suspect was struck in the torso,” Aldrich said. “The suspect was able to stumble or stagger down the stairs and then collapsed near a door. And died.” Authorities this afternoon were still trying to identify the suspected intruder, described as a man in his late teens or early 20s, Aldrich said. The resident declined to speak with reporters when he returned home early this afternoon. County prosecutors will make the final call on whether or not charges will be filed, but Aldrich said police released the resident without booking him.”
