A Del Rio, Texas, homeowner investigated a strange noise around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, discovered an alleged intruder in his living room and shot him.
FOX San Antonio reported that police received a call about “a residential burglary with shots fired” and officers were dispatched.
On arriving on scene they learned the alleged intruder, although wounded, had been able to make good an escape.
In a Facebook post, the Del Rio Police Department noted that the alleged miscreant was found and apprehended “following an investigation and search of the surrounding area.”
He was taken to San Antonio to have his gunshot wounds treated. The extent of the wounds was not reported.
The alleged intruder will face criminal charges.
