Intruder shot after breaking into home, fighting with residents, police say
A man who had an argument with his girlfriend was shot early Thursday when he broke into a home and fought with residents, police said.
The intruder and the residents did not know each other, police said.
The home invasion suspect, who suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen, was taken to a local hospital. His condition was unavailable.
Police responded to a burglary in progress call about 2:35 a.m. in the 3400 block of Schwartz Avenue.
Investigators determined that a man broke into the home, fought with a resident and then ran away. This all happened after the intruder had an argument with his girlfriend, police said.
But the intruder returned to the residence a second time and was shot when he tried to fight residents again, police said.
The wounded intruder fled the scene, but police found him a short time later.
The suspect faces a charge of burglary of habitation.
No charges are expected to filed against the residents, police said.
