Man fires shots at burglar, struck by unknown object
A man suffered injuries when he was struck with an unknown weapon after he reportedly shot at a burglar who was trying to break into his car late Monday.
According to the Amarillo Police Department, Michael Ray Howard heard a disturbance in the front yard of his home in the 4800 block of Southwest 57th Avenue about 10:40 p.m., and, when he went outside, he saw a person attempting to break into his vehicle.
When Howard approached his vehicle, the burglar displayed some type of weapon, police said, and Howard then fired one shot at the burglar with a handgun.
When Howard fired his gun, another man then struck Howard in the back of the head.
The burglar and the other man then fled from the scene, police said.
It is unknown if the burglar was struck by gunfire, police said.
Howard was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
APD Cpl. Jerry Neufeld said police will present their investigation to the Randall County Criminal District Attorney's Office to determine whether any charges will be filed in the incident.
