Site SearchFayetteville, N.C. — Fayetteville police said that a resident shot and wounded a suspect during a home break-in Thursday afternoon.
Two people forced their way into a residence in the 400 block of Acacia Circle around 2:30 p.m., officers said. The victim was at home and heard the burglars as they tried to take several items.
Investigators said that the resident confronted the burglars with a firearm. The resident shot one person in the lower leg and detained him until police arrived.
The second burglar fled the scene by unknown means, police said.
The suspect was transported to Cape Fear Valley Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said they plan to charge him with felony breaking-and-entering and felony larceny. Investigators have not been able to determine the man's identity.
Detectives remained at the crime scene late Thursday afternoon.
