The man shot Sunday morning after police say he broke into a Taylor Berry home had stripped down to his underwear and refused to leave.

Donald Oliver, 38, is charged with first-degree burglary, fourth-degree assault and heroin possession.

He's accused of entering the home in the 1200 block of Homeview Drive about 7 a.m. through a window.

Oliver went into an 11-year-old girl's bedroom, undressed and then went into the kitchen in only his underwear, according to an arrest slip.

A male homeowner demanded Oliver leave and got into a physical fight with him, injuring his hand, police said. 

He yelled to his girlfriend for help. She fetched a gun from the bedroom which he then used to shoot Oliver multiple times.
