5 rounds emptied in "after hours shopping" confrontation
Investigation continues into Friday's shooting that left A Walla Walla man dead - and a store owner saying there was no other way to fight off an intruder.
In the early morning hours a front window was smashed-in at the New York Store.
Owner John Saul says he caught Cesar Chavez stealing belts and buckles red-handed - before unloading as many as five shotgun rounds into the 22-year old.
The Sheriff's Department remains in the dark as to how much time elapsed before the confrontation turned deadly - and if there was ever any real danger present.
KEPR will continue to have the very latest when these questions are finally answered.
