“A Hyde Park man living in fear because his house had been broken into before opened fire on a home intruder early Tuesday morning, police said. … Officers arrived to find the suspect — later identified as Simeon Pratcher — laying ‘face down’ in one of the home’s bedrooms, police said. … The homeowner told investigators that he was in his living room when he heard someone entering his home. He went to one of his bedrooms and saw an intruder in the doorframe, leading the homeowner to fire two shots, MPD said. No one was struck by the gunfire. The homeowner told MPD that his home had been broken into three times, adding that he felt like he ‘had to protect himself.'” (05/26/26)
