A west Phoenix resident arrived home Friday morning to find two intruders inside the house and fired a weapon at them, striking a 15-year-old boy, police said.

The homeowner, who lives near 100th Avenue and Williams Street, came home about 9 a.m., according to Sgt. Vince Lewis, Phoenix police spokesman.

Phoenix police officers who were called to the house located and detained two boys, each around 15 years old, one of whom was shot.

The injured boy was transported to a hospital and was expected to survive, Lewis said.
