BURGLAR SLAIN BY AMERICAN SAMURAI

Around 1;20 a.m. last Tuesday, a 20-year-old Johns Hopkins University student heard noises behind his off-campus home and noticed a door to his garage was open. Armed with a samurai sword, the student confronted a burglar in the yard.

When the student yelled at his roommate to call 9-11, the intruder lunged at him. In the best tradition of a Japanese samurai warrior, the student quickly dispatched the burglar with with one swish of his sword.

The dead man had an arrest record of 29 burglaries and had been released from jail only a few hours earlier.
