SCHROEPPEL, N.Y. (AP) - A grand jury finds a central New York woman was justified in fatally shooting a man who ransacked her home in October.

Deanna Candee of Schroeppel (SCROO'-puhl) in Oswego County was cleared of wrongdoing in the death of Timothy Hartigan, whom she found inside her home after returning from a shopping trip.

Deputies said Hartigan had ransacked her home and attacked Candee. Her son pulled Hartigan off of her and she grabbed her revolver and shot the intruder.

Hartigan's relatives said he had a history of mental illness.

The Oswego County district attorney's office said it would have no further details of the grand jury findings.

He may have had a history but, now HE'S history. That was a good response to a bad situation.
