A court appearance for Kyle Johnson, charged with murder in the death of Le Roy resident Norman D. "Don" Ball, has been postponed until January, at the request of his defense attorney.
Johnson was scheduled to appear in Town of Le Roy Court at 2 p.m.
Johnson is accused of entering the residence of Ball at 3:50 a.m., Tuesday, and shooting Ball in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun while Ball slept. Johnson then allegedly walked back to his own house on Selden Road and set it on fire. He allegedly shot at firefighters and a police officer when they arrived on scene at the fire at 4:15 a.m.
There was then a four-hour standoff with local law enforcement before Johnson surrendered.
He is charged with murder in the second degree, arson and reckless endangerment.
