A burglary suspect was sent running for his life when a 76-year-old
Florida homeowner heard his wife’s screams and began shooting, according
to investigators.
The intruder was wounded but survived to be arrested in the street by
deputies, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office reported in a news release.
The homeowner was not hurt, but his wife suffered non-life threatening
injuries in the attack, officials said.
It happened around 3 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 27, in North Redington Beach, a
coastal community just west of St. Petersburg, the sheriff’s office says.
Deputies were summoned to the residential neighborhood by reports of a man
standing in the road and “yelling.”
“While deputies were responding to the initial call, a second 911 call was
received at 3:23 a.m. at 208 Bath Club Boulevard North, reporting a
residential burglary,” the sheriff’s office said.
“Upon arrival, deputies located (a man) in the roadway on Bath Club
Boulevard with a single gunshot wound.”
The wounded 51-year-old man also proved to be their burglary suspect,
officials said.
He is accused of gaining entry in a home by smashing out a front window
with a rock, detectives say.
“Once inside the residence, (he) encountered (a 74-year-old woman) and
began to struggle with her physically,” the sheriff’s office said.
“(Her husband) heard her scream his name in distress and saw her
struggling with (a man). Fearing for his and his wife’s safety, (he)
retrieved his firearm and shot (the man) once in the right shoulder.”
The suspect fled the home, then tried to break into another residence on
the street, officials said.
“After the failed second burglary attempt, (he) fled down the street,
where he was stopped by responding deputies,” officials said.
The suspect was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening
injuries.
He is charged with burglary with battery and attempted residential
burglary, the sheriff’s office said.
