The Cullman County coroner said Tuesday the homeowner who was fatally shot in a Monday home intrusion was longtime Cullman attorney Stephen K. Griffith, according to The Cullman Times.

The suspect in Griffith’s death was Patrick O. Walker, 45, of Jones Chapel, according to a news release from Coroner Jeremy Kilpatrick.

Walker was killed by another occupant at the Vinemont residence, according to Sheriff Matt Gentry.

Griffith, 71, was a attorney with the Griffith, Lowry & Meherg law firm. Gentry said at a Monday news conference that Griffith was shot.

Gentry has planned a 3 p.m. press conference today to release additional details about the case.

The shooting occurred on County Road 1301 after 5 p.m., Gentry said in a press conference just before 10 p.m. Monday at the Kelley Community Center, near where the incident occurred on County Road 1301.

“The individual who shot and killed that [assailant] individual was also killed by another occupant at the residence, and at this time my heart and my prayers go out to the family. And that’s all we’re going to release right now,” Gentry said at Monday’s news conference.

The sheriff’s office characterized the homicide as an isolated incident and said there should be no ongoing threat to residents in the vicinity of the crime scene.
