A Pleasant Grove confrontation turned deadly over the weekend when a man pretending to be armed charged a homeowner who really was.
Late Saturday, police were told a man was trying to break into cars on Quinto Drive near Buckner and Bruton. The homeowner caught the criminal in the act, but the would-be thief charged the homeowner, not once but twice.
The second time the homeowner opened fire the other man went down. He died at the hospital.
Police spent much of the night on-scene, looking for evidence with flashlights, lawn rakes and metal detectors.
