Mid-South man shoots intruder
Police have a suspect in custody and a possible accomplice. Police caught up with the pair after they drove to a firestation on the corner of Whitney and Trezevant for help.
Police say an elderly woman was working in her back yard when she noticed a man in her neighbor’s back yard. She questioned the man; then went and told her husband what was going on; and continued working in her yard.
Police say that's when the suspect sneaked inside the couple's home through a back door and got more than he bargained for. According to Memphis police officer Lt. Roy Tidwell, “It happened that her husband was inside the home and he had seen the reflection of him coming in the door so he picked up his pistol and met him at the kitchen and was shot at twice in the kitchen.”
Police say someone drove the suspect to a nearby fire station and that's where police detained the suspect and the driver. This is not the first time a home owner shot a burglary suspect.
