http://www.wokr13.tv/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=A2D035A5-0B37-4646-A137-58CC8B1E096B(Greece, NY) 07/18/04 -- A man was shot and killed by a relative as he tried to break into a home in West Hill Estates in Greece around 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The man had a restraining order against him to stay away from the premises.
Police said the homeowner shot and killed Russell Thurston, 43, with a long gun before he was able to fully enter the home. Thurston was apparently making threatening comments, but it's unclear exactly what he said.
Police said Thurston violated an order of protection filed on July 6 to stay away from the family and the home. Police won't say what led to the initial court order, but investigators say the homeowner was afraid.
At this point, Greece Police and the Monroe County District Attorney Mike Green believe the shooting was justified.
