EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Police acknowledge that drugs may have been the target of two men who reportedly burst into a Eugene home, one of whom was killed by gunfire.
Neither the man killed nor the alleged shooter has been identified.
The Register-Guard reports (http://bit.ly/yw2QFX ) 39-year-old Darrin George Dubouch and an accomplice burst into the home on Thursday. The accomplice was shot and killed by a 27-year-old man in the home.
Eugene police Detective Matt Herbert says Dubouch and the man slain likely targeted the house.

Dubouch is being held in the Lane County Jail on the robbery and burglary charges.
