ROCKFORD, Ill. — A man trying to force his way into a northern Illinois home died early Thursday after one of the residents there stabbed him, police said.
The man was trying to enter the home around 1:50 a.m., the Rockford Police Department said.
A man and a woman inside the home were able to block the door and prevent the intruder from entering, but the suspect broke out a window and began hitting one of the residents with a piece of lumber, police said.
