Authorities say once the investigation is complete, it will be presented to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office for review.

An autopsy will be conducted Monday. The name of the man will not be released until his family is notified, police said.

I put it here because it's not been decided if she'll face charges.

I hope no charges are filed. She did exactly what I hope I would do if I came home and found an intruder. Good for her.

I sure hope she isn't charged.

Do you think the daughter will ever sleep in that room again? Do people move in that situation or just say "that's the room where my mom killed that guy"?
