It was determined the intruder entered the home through an unlocked door. The dead intruder was not identified by police until family is notified.

Comments:
Note to stupid burglars. Wyoming is the most armed state in the union. More guns per person than even Idaho or Texas.
If burglaries or home invasions are your chosen career, try a more liberal city or state [read New Jersey] where they disarm the victims for you. Check out areas that practice catch and release so you will be let loose even if captured.
In this case; every opportunity is given to the intruder to just go away. Please go away. Well now he really is gone away and the community is safer!
