Home invader dies after teen hits him in head
2009-01-15
OAK RIDGE - A 19-year-old man fatally injured one of two masked men who invaded his mother's home late Wednesday night, police said.

Matthew W. Bennett, 42, died early this morning at University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. . . . Oak Ridge Deputy Police Chief Alan Massengill said the 19-year-old man struck Bennett in the head with an object as he struggled with him in his mother's bedroom. . . . The accomplice, armed with a handgun, fled during the struggle and police are looking for him, Massengill said.

Bennett was wearing gloves and had a bandana over his face, and his accomplice was wearing gloves and a black jacket or hoodie and a full-face ski mask.

"It appears this home was targeted,'' Massengill said. "There's nothing to indicate this was random.'' Police aren't discussing a possible motive for the invasion.

Neither the 45-year-old mother nor her son was injured in the incident but both were traumatized, Massengill said. . . .
