Two laptops, PlayStation had been stolen from off-campus house Monday



7:35 AM EDT, September 15, 2009

A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a
man who broke into the garage of his off-campus residence early Tuesday,
a Baltimore police spokesman said.

According to preliminary reports, a resident of the 300 block of E.
University Parkway called police about a suspicious person, department
spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. An off-duty officer responded about
1:20 a.m. to the area with university security, according to Guglielmi.
They heard shouts and screams from a neighboring house and found the
suspected burglar suffering from a nearly severed hand and lacerations
to his upper body, he said.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The student told police that he heard a commotion in the house and went
downstairs armed with a samurai sword, Guglielmi said. He saw the side
door to the garage had been pried open and found a man inside, who
lunged at the student.

Detectives were still interviewing the student and his three roommates
Tuesday morning, Guglielmi said. Burglars had already stolen two laptops
and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home Monday, according to
Guglielmi.

Dennis O'Shea, a spokesman for Johns Hopkins, said all four residents of
the house are undergraduate students at the university.

The suspected burglar, whose name was not released pending notification
of next of kin, had prior convictions for breaking and entering and had
just been released Saturday from a Baltimore County facility, Guglielmi
said.
