An alleged intruder is in critical condition after the occupant of a Huntsville, Alabama, home opened fire on him Wednesday around 3:00 a.m.
HuntsvilleAL.com reported that a shooting was reported to police and responding officers found the alleged intruder on scene, suffering from gunshot wounds.
AOL.com noted that a preliminary investigation, conducted by Huntsville Police Department’s Violent Crime Unit, “found that the injured man allegedly entered the home unlawfully while armed with a firearm.” Once inside the home, the suspect allegedly threatened the occupants, one of whom shot him.
The investigatory findings have already been given to the Madison County District Attorney’s Office, showing the incident “appears to have been an act of self-defense.”
Law enforcement continues to investigate the wounded alleged intruder for first-degree burglary but made clear that additional charges may be added.
