PEORIA — A Peoria man remains hospitalized after being shot in the arm and the buttocks Tuesday night while committing a home invasion.

According to police spokeswoman Amy Dotson, a man who was at an apartment in the Lexington Hills complex heard a knock on the door at about 9:40 p.m. The apartment, located in the 3400 block of West Sunburst Lane, is on the third floor of the building. When the man opened the door, a person, who was armed with a gun, tried to force his way into the residence and demanded money or property. A woman who was inside the apartment shot at the 18-year-old assailant, hitting him in the buttocks and in the arm, Dotson said.

The assailant was later brought to an area hospital by a private vehicle with a gunshot wound, Dotson said. He remains hospitalized with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
