ANDERSON — Anderson police said Wednesday that a woman shot and killed a man who broke into her house overnight.
The shooting happened around 12:45 a.m. in the 1300 block of East 8th Street, according to Anderson Police Department public information officer Caleb McKnight.

Police who responded found the man dead in an upstairs bedroom. His identity has not been released.
The incident remains under investigation, McKnight said.
