I wonder just where that is, exactly, the upper right shoulder?
SAN ANTONIO - A burglar is in the hospital after he was shot by the owner of the home he was breaking into.
It happened in the 100 block of Locknere Lane on the city's Northwest Side just after 2 p.m.
Police said the 48-year-old homeowner was asleep inside when he heard a knock at the door.
He told officers he wasn't expecting anyone, so he didn't rush to answer it, but that's when he heard someone kick the door down. Police said that's when he grabbed a gun.
"He was able to grab his handgun in the process of the three suspects breaking in the front door into his location," said officer Misty Floyd, San Antonio Police Department. "He was able to fire off several rounds. One of the rounds hit one of the suspects."
After one of the suspects was shot, all three took off from the scene in a light-colored Toyota Camry.
The suspected burglar who was shot was dropped off at Baptist Hospital downtown by the other two suspects.
The 26-year-old man was shot in the upper torso and was later transported to University Hospital.
As for the 48-year-old homeowner, we're told he's okay. While the case is under investigation, it doesn't appear he will face any charges.
However, if the 26-year-old suspect recovers from his gunshot wound, he will face charges.
