Alleged Burglar’s Condition Upgraded After Being Shot
Homeowner Reportedly Protecting Home

The condition of a man whom a police representative said was shot in the
abdomen by a homeowner during an apparent burglary attempt has been
upgraded to good, a spokeswoman for The William W. Backus Hospital said.

Police had not charged William Derose, 43, of Norwich, as of Sunday
night. His condition was upgraded from stable to good. Investigators
continued working on the case Sunday, including looking for a second
suspect in Friday’s incident. George Blacker, 61, of Norwich, told
police that he shot one of two men who entered his home on Salem
Turnpike at about 10 p.m. Friday, the Norwich Bulletin reported. Blacker
was not hurt. Derose was found at the scene with a shotgun wound to his
abdomen, police said.

Police said Derose and a second man apparently forced their way into the
house during a burglary attempt. State police joined the search for the
second suspect, who was not found.
