Baltimore, MD (AHN) - An undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins used a samurai sword to kill a man who broke into the garage of his off-campus home early Tuesday.
Police are still interviewing the student, who fatally lacerated the upper body of the man who broke into his home. The suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene, also had a nearly severed hand, the Baltimore Sun reported.
A resident in the area called police about a suspicious person, and an off-duty officer, along with university security, responded at about 1:20 a.m. They found the suspected robber suffering from the sword wounds after hearing shouts and screams coming from a neighboring house, according to preliminary police reports.
On Monday, burglars had stolen two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home, which he shares with three roommates.
The suspected burglar had previous convictions for breaking and entering, and had just been released Saturday from a Baltimore County facility, the Sun reported.
