Phoenix man shoots robbers in home invasion

The resident of a west Phoenix home shot and injured at least one man during a robbery early Monday morning, police say.

Two or three armed men broke into a home near 83rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road at about 3:30 a.m. Monday, said Sgt. Trent Crump, a Phoenix police spokesman.

The home's armed occupant confronted and fired shots at the men after they forced entry into the home, Crump said, and one man sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The men fled the scene after the shooting and investigators said they believe a man being treated a local hospital for a gunshot wound may have been involved in the robbery.

The other men remain at large and police could not immediately provide a description of the robbers.
