Cincinnati, Ohio

From November 13, 2006 WCPO channel 9:

A suspect was shot after breaking into a Tri-state home in what could be the latest case of vigilante justice.

Police say a man allegedly intent on harming a woman inside the home became the victim instead.

The shooting took place on Nottingham Drive where a l7-year-old girl riding in a car was shot the night before.

Police say two armed men, one armed with an AK-47, tried to gain entry into the woman's home.

Police say they were told that both men wore handkerchiefs over their faces and that when the woman saw them coming, she ran out the back door for help.

That's when the tables were turned.

Police say one of the intruders suffered a gun shot to the thigh.

9News was also told that he also suffered severe head trauma from being beaten.
