Indianapolis police have identified the apparent intruder they say was fatally shot by the occupants of an east-side home he entered early Tuesday.

The suspected intruder, identified as 53-year-old James Neal, was shot multiple times inside a house in the 700 block of South Bosart Avenue about 6 a.m., IMPD Capt. Richard Riddle said.

Investigators said a family of three was sleeping when the sounds of Neal inside the home woke them.

"The husband confronted Neal with a shotgun, and the two struggled over the weapon. The wife got a second weapon from another room and also confronted Neal," said an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department statement. "During the struggle, both residents fired their weapons, fatally wounding Neal. The man and woman, and their 11-year-old daughter, were unharmed."

Police said the homeowners cooperated with detectives and were released after being questioned.

Police said the Marion County prosecutor's office is reviewing the case and will determine whether criminal charges will be filed.

The shooting remains under investigation.
