CORPUS CHRISTI -- The man who police said staged an armed burglary at his home Monday threatened to "blast," a reporter who stopped by his home Wednesday night.

Nick Kelley, 24, became irritated when reporter Mike Manzoni asked him about the police investigation that determined Kelley fabricated a story in which he said a masked man broke into his house and shot him.

"No, f**k that s**t. If you don't f***ing get out of here I'll f***ing blast your a**!" Kelley screamed through his front door as his wife, Nicole, held him back.

Kelley claimed he came home and found a masked burlgar inside his house on Deforrest Street. He told police the burglar shot him with his own handgun during a confrontation. The burglar, he said, got in through the front door his wife left open while she went to a nearby convenience store.

Authorities said they are still investigating the incident, and said Kelley may face charges if the case is turned over to the district attorney's office.

Police said one part of Kelley's story was true: he was shot in the shoulder with a handgun, but they are not sure who shot him.
