Franklin Co. Sheriff: Homeowner Shoots Intruder
7:49am Friday, May 06, 2005
NBC4i.com is reporting that a homeowner shot a burglary suspect early Thursday morning at his own home on the city's west side.
From the story:
- The homeowner said two people kicked in the door and entered the living room of his Volney Avenue home at about 12:40 a.m. The resident said he feared for his safety and shot at the burglars twice, striking one of them in the upper torso.
The unidentified suspect was found a short distance from the home and was transported to Mount Carmel West Hospital.
The suspect was listed in stable condition.
The other suspected burglar was not found.
The incident remains under investigation.
This incident presents quite a contrast to the experience of a defenseless Mansfield couple who were recently shot in their home when it was invaded.
