An investigation is underway after a shooting during an apparent home break-in this morning in eastern Birmingham.

Birmingham police responded to a report of a home invasion in the 4100 block of Pinson Valley Parkway shortly after 7 a.m., confirmed Lt. Sean Edwards. The resident told investigators he shot at the intruder but wasn't sure whether the man had been struck.

A short time later, police found a man in his truck in the 2800 block of Pinson Valley Parkway. He was suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. His injuries are life-threatening.

Edwards said the investigation is continuing but they believe the gunshot victim was involved in the burglary. More information will be released as it becomes available.
