Alta Vista Homeowner Shoots Suspected Burglar



An Alta Vista homeowner shot and wounded a burglar Wednesday, 10News reported.



The man fired a warning shot from a handgun when he heard someone trying to break in through the front door of his house in the 1400 block of South 58th Street around 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Bob Dare said.



He fired several more rounds when the burglar broke a window and climbed through, Dare said.
