Moorhead, Minn. (WDAY TV) - Moorhead Police and Concordia College are reminding students living near campus they need to lock their doors at night.

The reminder comes after a drunk man walked into an unlocked home near Concordia last night, rented by 5-college students. All females.

The girls did not know the intruder, who walked into a bedroom and said he needed to use a phone. The man would not leave and so the young woman screamed for help. He then ran from the house.

This was a story about a mugging at a truck stop in Rothsay, of all places, but it references the thugs' previous work, a home invasion in Moorhead last month.

The two allegedly burst into the Moorhead home and demanded money and marijuana, and Williams threatened the people in the home with a gun and made comments about killing them by drowning or lighting them on fire.

The two allegedly stole several items from the home and left the occupants wrapped in duct tape.

MOORHEAD, Minn. - Police say a Moorhead man shot and killed an intruder who walked into his unlocked apartment.

Lt. Tory Jacobson says the resident confronted the man and yelled at him to leave. He says when he didn't leave, a fight ensued. The resident then allegedly got his shotgun, which went off during a struggle.

It's a shame the victim was arrested for defending himself, but it looks like there won't be charges. Now, what's the refrain? Lock your doors.

Police detained the apartment resident for questioning.
