BLOOMFIELD TWP. (WWJ) - Police say a home invasion suspect is on the loose after his partner in crime was shot by a quick-thinking homeowner in Oakland County.
The situation unfolded around 9:30 p.m. Monday in the 1600 block of Bloomfield Place Drive, near West Square Lake and Telegraph roads in Bloomfield Township. The homeowner told police that two men forced their way inside his home and demanded money.
The man told police he agreed to give the intruders all of his money and took one of the suspects into his bedroom. Once in the bedroom, the homeowner grabbed a firearm and shot at the suspect, police said. A struggle ensued and the suspects ultimately fled the residence. The homeowner chased the suspects and fired one more round as they ran away, according to police.

Square Lake and Telegraph?
Low-hanging fruit for the re-distribution artists out of Detroit.
Up near Pontiac.
That’s one of the nice things I like about my little town. Well off the highway with lots of twists and turns between.
Exactly. It's just a few blocks from where Pontiac begins. Everything around them is pretty good area except to their NE.
Very smart to invite bad guy to the money stash, only to pick up the gun! Awesome!
What wasn’t so good was homeowner shooting as the bad guys ran away. The homeowner wasn’t in danger anymore. ‘Sides, it’s just not sporting!
Y’all make it sound like crossing into Pontiac is safer than Detroit. It ain’t.
Pontiac gangers are slightly more polite than Flint gangers who are somewhat nicer than Detroit gangers.
Substitute “re-distributionists” for “gangers” and...
Its all jungle to me.
Within a short walk to Pontiac. A friends mom lived on that very street several years ago.
type in...square lake and woodward
I know your “little town” and there is still no reason to avoid situational awareness that should includes a 1911-frame (or, a revo-JUDGE) within reach.
Blackman TWP, Jack-town and that 2-x-year influx of “foreigners” to watch the whiskeyrunnercompetition “turn left” for a week...
Hell, Onondaga TWP is getting dicey, bro!
Saving grace? Jackson is still the home of THE “original coney-dog”. Does Todorovs still operate?
Todorovs still abides.
This is why I keep a fully loaded auto pistol just above my computer’s mouse. A revolver in my bed room and a locked and loaded AR-180 with the stock folded just behind me when at my computer desk. I am never far from a weapon.
I never said Pontiac was any better than Detroit. The actual area where the person lives is okay EXCEPT for being a few blocks from Pontiac, which we agree is a shithole. I live in Waterford (getting to be Pontiac West).
Wow! You have an automatic pistol? Sweet! What type of license does one require to own one legally?
am never far from a weapon.
Same here, 45 right next to me by the couch, 9mm night stand in bedroom, 380 I carry wherever I go. Bring it on dirt bags.
Quite a bit north, just near Pontiac.
Area is apartment complex. Not to be confused with higher income Bloomfield.
There are quite a few mapping software packages available, free ones, that can help answer future questions like this.
I used Google Earth this time.

Was that the place across from the bar The Sugar Shack?
