PORTLAND -- A man killed in a Southeast Portland apartment Thursday was shot by his neighbor in self-defense, police said.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner concluded Friday that 49-year-old Vincent Lee Wyatt, of Southeast Portland, died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Dale Lloyd Duncan, 69, was in his own apartment and banged on the wall to alert the next door neighbor that the noise in that apartment was too loud, according to Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson.

Wyatt was visiting the next door unit and went over to confront Duncan, at which point he entered Duncan's residence, Simpson said. Wyatt threatened and pushed Duncan, so Duncan got a handgun and fired several shots.

Simpson said Wyatt then fell and landed on top of Duncan, who is medically fragile. When police arrived, Duncan was calling for help, with Wyatt lying on top of him.

Wyatt died at the scene and Duncan was transported to an area hospital for an unrelated medical condition. Duncan has cooperated with investigators.

No arrests were anticipated and no charges were expected to be filed in the case, as investigators determined the shooting was self-defense.

Wow! talk about a story cutting to the chase.
"BG went over to his house and pushed and threatened him, so the medically fragile LAC got his gun and killed him until he was dead, the end."

the alleged bad guy allegedly pushed the man you mean?

Remember that just because this is a gun forum doesnt mean that anyone who shoots another person is a "LAC", or that they even made the right choice to shoot. Story says the man just came over and pushed the disabled guy at which point he was shot, but only the guy who was shot and the shooter really know what happened.

I always hate when the LAC kills him until not quite dead. :D

Also, I always hate when the LAC kills him until dead, but does not end there. Those anthropogenic resurrections bug me no end. Violate my trust in divinity, don't you know. :D

Nope. I'm doing a synopsis of the story. Nowhere did I read "alleged". I did however read "...as investigators determined the shooting was self-defense."

Investigation done, determination made. Good shoot.

When he pushed the man and walked into his apartment, he made forcible entry. That may be responded to in the State of Alabama with any level of force up to deadly.
