Homeowner shoots and kills intruder

CAMPBELL — Nicholas Galanses told police he went to the garage door after the front door bell rang and asked, “Who’s out there?”

On his way to the garage door, Galanses, who said he never answers his front door, picked up his .357 magnum revolver from his dining room hutch.

When he opened the door to the attached garage, he saw a man run into the garage from the front porch side of the driveway.

The intruder, later identified as 19-year-old Ronald G. Harrison II of Bright Avenue, was raising a black handgun toward him and yelling “give me the money ....”

Galanses, 40, standing halfway inside the dining room and halfway in the garage, said he feared he was going to be shot. He raised the .357 magnum and fired several shots at the intruder.
