Alleged intruder shot in Sunday Accomack incident

The Parksley Police Department and Accomack County Sheriff’s Department are looking for a man who police say forced his way into a home near here on Sunday night.

A gun battle ensued and a suspect in the crime was shot and transported to Shore Memorial Hospital, according to the Accomack County Sheriff’s Department.

His name was not immediately released but charges are pending, said Sheriff’s Department Capt. Larry Giddens.

Giddens said the sheriff’s department received a call from the Eastern Shore 911 Center regarding a breaking and entering in progress and a shooting at a home on Woodland Park Drive.

Further investigation revealed that a man was returning to his residence when he discovered a suspicious vehicle driving in the area that proceeded to park in a neighbor’s driveway, Giddens said in a prepared release.

As the resident exited the vehicle, two males exited the other vehicle with a gun and chased the victim into his residence.

The suspects forced open the residence door and shots were exchanged, Giddens said.

No other injuries were reported. The second suspect, described as a black male driving a light-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser, fled the scene.
