PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police say an armed home intruder impersonating a police officer was shot and killed by a Mayfair resident Sunday night.
Authorities say the shooting happened on the 7200 block of Battersby Street just after 10 p.m.
The other suspect ran out and authorities are looking for him, according to police.

Scott says six shell casings were found on the steps to the apartment.

FOX 29's Steve Kelley spoke to the man who fatally shot one of the intruders, and he's encouraging everyone who legally can own a gun to purchase one to protect themselves in Philadelphia as crime surges.

"I pulled out and shot right at him and that's it," he said as he described the moments of shock and fear he experienced.

The 25-year-old and his girlfriend, who was upstairs in the second-floor apartment at the time of the shooting, were released by police.

The usual tale, but pull quote for the pure comedy value -

Shortly after the home invasion, a call came in about a man shot in the head. That man has not been identified as a suspect yet. Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said his deputies went to interview him.

*The stories that he*s giving us*as to how he got shot in the head are inconsistent at best,* said Simmons. *In short, we don*t believe him. So what we*re looking at is to determine if this is the third person involved.*
