Charlotte, North Carolina

From the Charlotte Observer of December 27, 2006
Man shoots at home intruder

No injuries were reported late Tuesday night in an apparent attempted home burglary that turned into a fight with at least one shot being fired.

The incident happened about 11:45 p.m. in the Hickory Grove area of northeast Charlotte.

A man told police he was preparing to take out the trash at his home in the 5600 block of Keyway Boulevard, between Kimmerly Glen Drive and East W.T. Harris Boulevard, when he realized an intruder was in his house.

The resident told police he went to get a handgun and as he turned around, the attacker struck him in the back of the head. That triggered a fight between the attacker and the resident of the house. During the scuffle, the victim said, he fired his gun once, with the bullet striking the refrigerator.

The assailant then fled on foot.
