Intruder Shot by Armed Resident



An armed resident of an apartment unit in Norcross, Ga. shot a suspect three times as the man tried to break in through a window early Friday morning, Gwinnett County police said.



The suspect fled and police found him locked inside a bathroom in the apartment complex, located on Indian Trail. A SWAT team responded to the scene at 4:15 a.m., forced their way into the apartment, and took the suspect into custody.



The suspect, 18-year-old Corey Akinyele, is being treated for non-life threatening injuries at Gwinnett Medical Center. Investigators planned to charge him in the case later Friday.



The resident, Jorge Leal, will not be charged.
