A man is dead after he threw a brick through the glass door of a Montcalm home.

State Police say Adam Lee Bennett shattered a door of Rodney Hendrick’s home about 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Hendrick, who had been sleeping, grabbed a gun and confronted Bennett, who was standing at the door, police said.

Hendrick then opened fire, hitting Bennett in the chest, police said.

Bennett, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No charges will be filed against Hendrick, but the Mercer County prosecutor will present the case to the next session of the grand jury.
