A man shot an armed intruder at his east Charlotte home Saturday night, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said, sending the masked man to the hospital. A man wearing a bandana on his face entered a home in the 6300 block of Montego

Drive near The Plaza through an unlocked door about 11:30 p.m., said Capt. Earl Mathis.Three adults and two children were home at the time, Mathis said. The suspect followed one of the residents into a bedroom to get money.

The resident shot the intruder multiple times, Mathis said. The intruder, whose identity police did not release, was rushed to a hospital for surgery. He was expected to recover, Mathis said.

The case remains under investigation, but as of Sunday evening no one had been charged.
