Duncanville woman shoots would-be burglar

Officers covered the lawn of a Duncanville home Tuesday afternoon as they investigated the shooting of a suspected burglar.

Authorities said a woman called 911 after she heard a man breaking into her home in the 300 block of Partridge Run.

When officers arrived on the scene, they said they found the suspect shot in the abdomen on the lawn of a nearby driveway and a gun in the yard of the woman's home. Authorities said the woman shot the would-be burglar.

"I looked out the window and there were people yelling and screaming," said Wallis Young, a witness. "Then, the lady in green ran back inside, got a gun and started running down the street."

The shooting victim was taken to a nearby hospital. Neither his condition nor his identity have been released.
