Little Falls shooting: Previous break-in at home where teens shot
LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) — The home of a Minnesota man held in the shooting deaths of two teenage cousins has been burglarized at least once before.
Byron David Smith of Little Falls told police he shot 18-year-old Haile Kifer and 17-year-old Nicholas Brady during a break-in Thursday. But authorities say his actions exceeded reasonable self-defense and plan to charge him Monday.
Smith's brother, Bruce Smith, tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/WPRzYi ) it was the eighth burglary at Byron Smith's home in recent years.
The only report the Morrison County sheriff's office has is for one break-in on Oct. 27. It shows Byron Smith reported losing cash, gold coins, two guns, photo equipment and a ring.
Bruce Smith declined to talk to an Associated Press reporter Monday.
