Police: Hall of fame hunter shoots alleged intruder

Associated Press

RUSH, Ky. - A member of the Kentucky Turkey Hunters Hall of
Fame fatally shot an alleged intruder in his home early
today, Kentucky State Police said.

Roland Burns, 65, of Rush, told investigators that he awoke
shortly before 12:30 a.m. EST to find the man in his home
in rural Boyd County, Trooper Ed Ginter said.

Shannon Scott Conley, 32, of Rush, was pronounced dead at
the scene.

No charges have been filed in the case. State police are
investigating.

Ginter said Burns told investigators that he was awakened by
a vehicle in his driveway. He said he went to investigate
and found the alleged intruder in his house. Burns told
police he returned to his bedroom for a gun.

"Mr. Burns ordered the man to leave the home," Ginter said
in a press release. "A struggle ensued, and Mr. Conley was
fatally wounded."

Burns, who was inducted into the Turkey Hunters Hall of Fame
in 2003 by the Kentucky chapter of the National Wild Turkey
Federation, was not injured, Ginter said.
