SAN DIEGO -- An Alta Vista homeowner shot and wounded a burglar Wednesday, 10News reported. The man fired a warning shot from a handgun when he heard someone trying to break in through the front door of his house in the 1400 block of South 58th Street around 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Bob Dare said. He fired several more rounds when the burglar broke a window and climbed through, Dare said.
The homeowner then called authorities to report the attempted break-in and shooting. The burglar, whose name was not immediately reported, was taken to a San Diego hospital and treated for his wounds, Dare said. He is expected to survive.
