POSTED: 8:47 AM CST January 1, 2004

WILMETTE, Ill. — Wilmette police say a homeowner who shot an intruder
during a break-in will not be charged with violating the affluent
Chicago suburb’s handgun ban.

Authorities said Hale DeMar acted in self-defense when he shot a man
during a confrontation in his kitchen.

Morio Billings, 31, of Chicago, was charged with residential burglary
and possession of a stolen vehicle. Police arrested him when he sought
treatment for two gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital.
