A Fort Benning soldier who was fatally shot after breaking into an apartment may have thought his wife was inside, the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported.
Christopher Warden, 31, was shot Sunday morning by the resident of an apartment on Armour Avenue, according to the report.
Warden apparently thought it was where his wife had gone to pick up her daughter, police said.
An unidentified friend of Warden’s and a neighbor in the apartment complex tried to tell Warden he was at the wrong address, police said. However, Warden beat and kicked the door, then broke out a window and entered.
When Warden was in the apartment, the resident heard him, armed herself and told him to leave, the newspaper reported. He refused and walked into her bedroom, where she shot him once in the chest.
