"It appears to be self defense," Szilagyi said.
Jason Rabe, 23,
of Three Oaks, Mich., was pronounced dead from a single gunshot wound
to the left side of his upper chest inside a home in the 6700 block of
East County Road 1000 North, west of Hudson Lake.
"It was a
nonsurvivable type wound," LaPorte County Coroner John Sullivan
said. "If he had been in a hospital operating room they couldn't have
saved him."
LaPorte County Sheriff Mike Mollenhauer said the man
renting the home told investigators he was awakened about 9 a.m. Monday
by the sound of breaking glass from an outside window. He grabbed his
pistol and encountered the intruder in a utility room.
Szilagyi said Rabe was asked to drop the hatchet, but refused then was shot during a physical struggle for the gun.
