Police: Burlington resident shoots home invasion suspect
A man authorities allege participated in a home invasion was shot in the upper torso early this morning by one of the residents he was trying to rob, police report.
About 1:30 a.m., Burlington police responded to a reported burglary in progress at 1109 Rosenwald St.
Officers found a man later identified as Tele Richmond, 22, of 231 Kerr Chapel Road in Burlington, lying in the front yard suffering a gunshot wound to his torso.
Richmond was one of four men who entered the Rosenwald Street home and tried to rob the residents at gunpoint, police said.
One of the residents, apparently acting in self defense, fired at the suspects with a handgun, striking Richmond, police said.
The other suspects were last seen running north toward Sharpe Road.
None of the residents was injured, police said.
