Teen Home Invasion Suspect Shot

A teenaged boy was shot and wounded late Tuesday during a home invasion and robbery attempt in southwest Atlanta that was apparently foiled when the resident pulled out a gun and opened fire.

The 16-year-old suspect, whose identity was pending, was rushed for medical treatment to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

Police were called to the home in the 900 block of Ira Street shortly after 11 p.m.

The resident told police that two men and two women forced their way into the home. The unidentified resident pulled out a gun and shot one of the perpetrators.

"He was able to retrieve a weapon he had," police Sgt. Brian Paden said.

The suspects fled from the scene, but were pulled over a short time later on Interstate 75/85 near Turner Field. Police arrested two suspects in connection with the incident.
