The Greeneville Sun quoted Greene County Sheriff Steve Burns who identified the dead youth as 17-year-old Michael E.A. Banner. Alan Burch, who lives in a mobile home, told investigators he fired shots toward the entrance door after being awakened late Thursday by someone kicking the door open. Burch said he then found at least one of the shots struck the teen. A deputy reported he was found lying on the front porch. The sheriff said three other persons were with Banner and police have an idea who they are. Burns declined to speculate on the motive for the apparent break-in. More details as they develop online and in Saturday's News Sentinel. |
