Authorities say a fatal shooting in Vermillion was an act of self-defense during a home invasion.
According to the Vermillion Police Department, 38-year-old Chase Kinchen forcefully entered a home Tuesday night armed with a handgun.
The resident of the home had a protection order against Kinchen.
Kinchen threatened the resident and a guest who was at the home, investigators said. The guest ran to the garage. Kinchen followed and fired his gun at them. The guest got a handgun from a car in the garage and returned fire, shooting Kinchen.
Police said as soon as officers arrived they began life-saving efforts, but Kinchen died from his injuries.
