Covington man who shot armed intruder will not be charged

Joshua Kersey, 43, of Cincinnati, and two others were armed with guns and dressed in dark clothing and ski masks when they unlawfully entered the West 7th Street home at about 1:34 a.m., police said in a news release. The intruders threatened two residents and demanded to know the location of another person who hadn't lived there for several years. Hearing the commotion, another resident retrieved his own handgun from an upstairs bedroom and shot Kersey in the chest as Kersey was advancing toward the bedroom, police said.
