ST. CHARLES, MO – Shortly after 5:45 pm Saturday evening the St. Charles city police department was called to an apartment complex near Fifth Street and San Juan Drive for an apparent home invasion. Police tell Fox 2 that a male intruder was shot and killed by resident in the apartment.
Police are trying to determine if the intruder had a relationship with the owner and if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the incident.

“It`s my understanding they may have heard some things. We would like to speak with them. Family members are taking care of the children at this time,” said Lieutenant Chad Fisk.
