UPDATE: From the July 19, 2006 San Diego Union-Tribune:

EL CAJON – A 66-year-old homeowner fired several shots at a burglar who apparently tried to run him over Tuesday morning after the resident surprised the man burglarizing his house.

The homeowner armed himself with a pistol when he heard a noise in his house on Aldwych Road near Rim Rock Road shortly after 10 a.m., said Lt. Steve Shakowski of the El Cajon police.

He found a man in his house near the back door. The intruder had already taken some of the man's property out of the house and had stacked it outside.

The homeowner ordered the man to stop, Shakowski said. But even though he was at gunpoint, the intruder ran away to a pickup truck parked outside.

The resident followed the man outside, only to have the intruder try to ram him with the truck, Shakowski said.

He said the bullets missed the motorist but hit the truck and one of its tires.
