An alleged home intruder was treated for a gunshot wound after ignoring verbal warnings from an armed homeowner in North Carolina.

At 11:20 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2023, police say the suspect broke a window in the house and attempted to get inside. The man inside the house armed himself and told officers he provided several verbal warnings for the suspect, who still attempted to get into the abode.

After the ignored warnings, the homeowner fired once, hitting the 35-year-old alleged intruder. Police arrived on scene and found the wounded man, who was taken to an area hospital. Investigators said no charges have been filed against the homeowner. (ABC 11; Knightdale, N.C.; 12/1/23)
