A Southwest Portland homeowner shot a man who was trying to break into his home through a backyard window Wednesday afternoon, an official said.

Responders found the intruder completely naked in a water fountain in the home's backyard, said Capt. Steve Alexander, a Multnomah County Sheriff's Office spokesman. The intruder was taken to a hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound that didn't appear to threaten his life, Alexander said.

Officers responded to a home in the 4900 block of Southwest Humphrey Boulevard around 3:50 p.m. after the home's owner called 911 to report he had shot the intruder, Alexander said in a news release. Officers arrived and told the homeowner to come outside and leave his firearm at the front of the home. He did so and met officers in the driveway.

The intruder was reportedly naked when he tried to break into the home, Alexander said.

Alexander didn't know if the intruder was armed or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. No additional information was immediately available about the circumstances of the shooting.

Traffic is affected in the area, and the incident is under investigation. The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office will review the case information, Alexander said.

This report will be updated if more information becomes available.
