Husband shoots home invader to death

"Husband shoots home invader to death"

BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS -- A Buffalo Grove man was shot and killed early Thursday after he allegedly stormed into a West Side couple's bedroom and demanded to see the woman's breasts, police said.

The shooting was ruled justified and charges were not brought against the man who fatally shot Curtis Reed once in the chest, Chicago police said.

Reed, 42, kicked in the basement door of the apartment building in the 3800 block of West Monroe at 4:20 a.m., ran up the back stairwell and directly into the bedroom on the first floor, where a 57-year-old woman and a 58-year-old man were in bed, Area 4 Violent Crimes Detective Mike Miller said.

The couple had heard someone enter their home and were ready when Reed burst into the bedroom, police said. The man reportedly responded to Reed's demand by pulling out a handgun and firing.

Reed did not appear to have ransacked the home or to have tried to steal anything, Miller said.

"He stormed upstairs and into the bedroom and said to the woman: 'Show me your [breasts],' " Miller said. "And at that point, the husband fired."

Miller said police do not think Reed knew the couple, nor were they sure why he chose that home.

Reed was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m. at the Cook County medical examiner's office.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long. — Thomas Sowell
