Albertville homeowner shoots backyard prowler
A homeowner on Valley View Drive who found two men in his backyard early today shot one of them with a shotgun, according to Albertville police.
The resident woke up before 1:30 a.m. because of a noise in the backyard and saw two people with flashlights, said police Sgt. Jamie Smith.
The homeowner got a shotgun, confronted the pair from inside the house, Smith said, and fired.
Officers found a man in the backyard with a gunshot wound to his upper torso, but he was conscious and talking before he was flown to Huntsville Hospital, Smith said.
The shooting is still under investigation, said Smith, and it appears that no charges will be filed against the homeowner. Police are still looking for the other prowler.
