A 19-year-old man was fatally shot as he tried to burglarize a Kearns home Monday.

Kyle Stuart Poulton, most recently living in Kearns, died at the scene, said Unified Police Department Lt. Don Hutson.

The owner of the house, near 5600 South and 5100 West, saw a man trying to go through a sliding glass door about 3 a.m., Hutson said. The homeowner fired a pistol once at the man through the glass, Hutson said.

Officers on Monday evening arrested Poulson's suspected accomplice.....

Good to see UT has a common sense home protection law like NV does.
