Man Shoots Intruder In Parkville Home

Baltimore County police say a man shot an intruder at his Parkville home early Friday.

Police responded at 2:26 a.m. to the home in the 2300 block of Harford Hills Road for a report of shots fired. Officers there met with a man who told them he just shot an intruder. The man told police he was home when the intruder kicked in his front door and said, "I'm in your house. I'm coming to get you." The victim got his handgun and closed the door to the room he was in. The intruder kicked that door in and the victim shot him several times before fleeing from the home.

Officers found a man in the home, and he was taken to an area hospital treatment. He faces charges, but has not yet been officially charged, so his name has not yet been released. The victim's actions will be reviewed by the state's attorney's office when the police investigation still ongoing is finished.
