Family calls sheriff because 29 yo mentally ill son "recently experienced mental health issues and seemed disoriented earlier that day," and apparently left the house. While deputies searched neighborhood for him, another 911 call came from son of a homeowner (age not given) half-a-mile away who said he shot someone breaking into his house.

Deputies found mentally ill son dead on porch. Son of homeowner said man picked up a "plant from Dad's yard" (presumably in a pot of some kind) and charged him.

Sheriff's office person said "There were a couple of attempts maybe at a door or window. It wasn’t just somebody knocking at a door or window. It was more involved than that,"
