He then got out of bed, retrieved a handgun and pressed the panic button of the alarm system. When he walk toward the living room, he was confronted by 29-year-old Claude Lowell Woodard. The homeowners' son fired his pistol three times in Woodard's direction, authorities said.

Woodard fled outside toward the driveway, where he collapsed and later died. Authorities found that he was in possession of at least two knives and a replica BB gun, authorities said.
