A homeowner who was trying to shoot at a car burglar ended up wounding a 14-year-old boy in a nearby home Saturday morning in Red Bird, Dallas police say.

Officers were called about 4 a.m. to the 2900 block of Appaloosa Drive, where detectives learned that a homeowner had discovered someone breaking into his vehicle in the 2800 block of Traildust Drive.

The homeowner fired repeatedly at the suspect, and one shot ricocheted off the ground, went through a second-floor window and grazed the side of the boy's head.

The wounded teenager was taken to an area hospital. His name and details about his condition were not released.

The homeowner who fired shots could face multiple charges, police said.

No information was available about the person who broke into the vehicle.
