Palm City Woman Shot In Home Shoots Suspect
A Palm City woman was shot Thursday morning during a home invasion, but she was also able to shoot the suspect, who fled and was apprehended a short time later, neighbors and authorities said.
The incident occurred at a home in the 1500 block of Southwest Crossings Circle shortly before 9 a.m.
Neighbors said they heard a loud noise and came outside to find Linda Schultz, who turned 47 earlier this month, bleeding from a gunshot wound. She was airlifted to St. Mary's Medical Center, but her condition was not immediately available.
According to the Martin County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Reber was arrested in connection with the crime. Deputies located him in a room at the Suburban Lodge in Stuart after one of his family members told them where he was shortly after 10 a.m.
Reber, 23, suffered a gunshot wound and was also airlifted to St. Mary's Medical Center.
Neighbors said Schultz came running out of her home carrying the suspect's gun.
"She was trying to describe to the police what had happened and what the gentleman looked like, what he was driving and that she had shot him," neighbor Linda Smyth told WPBF News 25. "She knew she shot him."
