LEONARDTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Authorities in St. Mary's County say a man is dead after two men broke into his home to rob him.
Officials say two men on Thursday night forced their way inside the St. Inigoes home of 37-year-old Robert L. McDowney and announced a robbery.
One of the men pulled out a gun during the struggle that followed and shot McDowney, who died at the scene. The two men drove off a Ford Fusion.
The county's Bureau of Criminal Investigation is handling the investigation.
