A man shot at two burglars who broke into his home in Tempe on Tuesday, and police say one of them ended up at a Mesa hospital to be treated for his wound.
Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Horn said a resident reported that two burglars broke into his home around 12:30 p.m. The resident fired a shot, and the two burglars took off running from the home just west of Loop 101 near Broadway Road and South River Drive.
Police later got a call about a gunshot victim from Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa. Doctors operated on the man, who is described as being in his 20s, and police are looking for his partner.
“It looks like he dumped his buddy off at the hospital,” Horn said. The victim is expected to survive.
Horn said investigators will work with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to determine whether the shooting was justified.
In a word. YES!
BANG!!!
The only problems I have with the homeowner is that he only hit one of the two intruders and killed neither of them.
The only thing wrong here is that there were two burglars and only one shot.
Too bad the title didn’t read “Burglary suspect shot in TempLe”.
They broke into his home kill them!
Who are they talking about here -- the robber or the robbee?
Ironically, it seems to me that the home invasion robber is being portrayed as the “victim” here, strange huh?
Thanks for the ping and link to the blog. Great!
What Victim, the homeowner, not the bleeding burglar, is the victim.
The shooter made a slight error, he should have shot the burglar in the temple not in (the) Tempe. Better luck next time.
The Temple is in Mesa.
It being Arizona, my first question is Illegal? Or methhead?
