(CNN) -- A Johns Hopkins University student killed an apparent burglar with a samurai sword after discovering the man in his garage, police said Tuesday.

Baltimore, Maryland, police received a phone call shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday about a suspicious person, and an off-duty officer arrived at the scene with campus security, city police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

When authorities arrived, they heard calls for help and for police, he said. They discovered a suspected burglar with a severed left hand and severe lacerations to his upper body, Guglielmi said.

The suspect died at the scene, he said.

The man had entered a home where several Johns Hopkins students lived, Guglielmi said. Four students, one armed with a samurai sword, had confronted the suspect in the garage.

The man "lunged" at the students, and the student with the sword defended himself, severing the man's left hand and cutting his upper body, Guglielmi said.

Police did not release the name of the suspect, who Guglielmi said had a long criminal history, or that of the student.

Police questioned the three witnesses, Guglielmi said, and released them. It was not immediately clear whether all four students lived at the house, he said.

Authorities are determining whether the student will face criminal charges, Guglielmi said.

Burglars had taken two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the students' home Monday, Guglielmi said.

The burglary suspect had been released from prison Saturday, Guglielmi said.

inky wrote:Yes, it is possible that he will get charged for it because the government thinks that criminals should feel safe when they invade your home and steal your shit. What a twisted sense of morality. Anyway, rule of thumb with these cases is that the burglar should die inside your home - if he was killed outside, then that's a different case (don't ask me why) and you're most likely going to get charged. Reminds me of that other man from Texas who shot and killed a guy sneaking into his neighbors backdoor; they found out the guy is a potentially violent robber but they still charged the man who killed him. Criminal-loving fucks.


I know it's illegal to own a gun in the NY 5-borough area unless you're a police officer but I wonder if they actually allow samurai swords O.o
