Pregnant woman, husband shot by intruders



A pregnant woman and her husband were shot this morning during a home invasion on the Southwest Side, police said.



One of two gunmen was wounded in a shootout with the couple, police said.



The 38-year-old man and his 27-year-old wife were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, said Sgt. Judy Altieri, a Tucson police spokeswoman.



The woman, who is 8 months pregnant, did not lose her unborn child, Altieri said.



"I don't know if she was intentionally shot. There might have been a cross fire and she got caught in it," Altieri said.



Names of the victims are not being released.



The wounded gunman and another gunman had not been arrested early today, police said. But a wounded man turned up at Kino Community Hospital hours after the shooting, Altieri said.
