Indianapolis metropolitan police are investigating an early morning armed robbery in which they say the homeowner fought back and a suspect was shot.

Police received a report of shots fired in the 11000 block of Dedham Drive around 3 a.m. Detectives said two or three men were trying to break into the home. The homeowner struggled with the men over a gun and shot one of the suspects.

A woman and small child inside the home at the time were not hurt.

There are bullet holes in the home's front door and blood on the front porch and driveway.

A short time later, a man with gunshot wounds in the leg and back showed up at the Circle K station at 25th Street and Post Road, about a mile from the home. He was taken to Eskanazi Hospital in critical condition.

Investigators do not have a description of other possible suspects.
