Police have identified the man who was shot in a Malta mobile home park, in what is being called a case of self-defense. The suspect has been identified as Kurt M. Hubbard, 49, a resident of the Locust Grove Motel in the town of Malta, police said.

The shooting happened at around 11:30 a.m. on Friday. A man forced his way into a residence inside the Northway Estates Mobile Home Park and attacked a resident. The suspect, who did not know the residents, followed the person to a bedroom, to where the people who live in the home had hidden, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office said.

One of the residents grabbed a shotgun and fired two rounds, killing the suspect. 

The residents of the mobile home park have been interviewed and released.

There is no threat to the community, according to Sheriff Michael Zurlo.

“At this time, the investigation has not revealed any criminal conduct by the resident who appears to have been defending himself inside of his home from a subject who was not known to him,” he said in a statement.

The investigation is ongoing.
