A Panola County, Texas, man who was hiding in a closet shot and killed his girlfriend today, thinking she was an intruder.
He has been charged with manslaughter and drug possession.
The shooting happened about 2 a.m. today near Beckville.
Panola County sheriff's deputies said Jordan Melvin LaGrone, 25, fired one shot as Shasta Nicole Dulaney opened the bedroom door. LaGrone was hiding inside a bedroom closet when he fired, deputies said.
Sheriff's investigators did not say why Lagrone was hiding in the bedroom closet but noted they found methamphetamines in the house on County Road 266.
LaGrone called 911 to say he had just shot an intruder, deputies said. Deputies said he told them he mistook Dulaney for an intruder who was going to hurt him.
