Homeowner hits home invader with shotgun blast; Deputies following blood trail
A Lincoln County man picked up his shotgun and fired twice when he saw a flashlight beam shining under the bedroom door and then heard someone grabbing the door handle, according to a Lincoln County Sheriff's Office release.
The incident took place around 2:50 a.m. Monday at a home on the 4400 block of Catawba Burris Road in eastern Lincoln County.
At least one person was hit and officers followed a blood trail out of the residence, down the driveway and a short distance south on Catawba Burris Road, according to the release.
Lincoln County Sheriff's officers are searching door-to door and a reverse 9-1-1 call went out at 4 a.m.
The homeowners told Lincoln County investigators they were awakened by the sound of breaking glass around 2:50 a.m.
Officers do not know if more than one person was inside the residence.
Deputies including the Tactical warrant Team and K-9 units have been searching the area looking for the suspect.
