Homeowner Shoots Intruder
A Danville homeowner says he had to shoot a teenage intruder to save his own life. That teen was shot in the shoulder. Police say the homeowner will not face any charges. They say he pulled the trigger in self-defense.
And while that 15-year-old is in custody, police tell us he wasn't alone. They say two teenagers were in the backyard of the home at 220 Halifax Street Monday night. A neighbor took a picture after the attack of the homeowner named Jeff -- who wouldn't tell us his last name.
He did tell us he went outside to see what was happening, and that's when the teens threw bleach on him. He ran inside and locked the door and says they broke in. Jeff says he shot one of the boys in the shoulder with a hand gun. Police tell us the other one ran away. Both were apparently armed with "edged" weapons.
If you have any information please call Danville Crimestoppers at 434-793-0000. As for Jeff, he tells us he's just glad to be alive.
