Jonesboro police say a man was killed after being beaten by a homeowner during an apparent home invasion.
Police say a man armed with a shotgun broke into the home about 11 p.m. Friday.
Witnesses told police the homeowner scuffled with the intruder before striking him in the head with a tire iron. The suspected intruder was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
No names were released, and a police supervisor did not immediately return a telephone message left Saturday by The Associated Press.
