A 46-year-old Ann Arbor man is recovering in stable condition while police seek the suspects who reportedly shot him during a botched robbery attempt Thursday night, officials said Friday morning.

The man was at his home in the 1400 block of Jorn Court off Packard south of East Stadium Boulevard about 9:30 p.m. when three to four suspects broke in, Ann Arbor police Sgt. Earle Fox said.

As the man attempted to fight off the intruders, one of the suspects shot him in the leg/groin area, Fox said.

The man's 72-year-old father also was in the home at the time but was not injured, police said.

The suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and other items, according to Fox.

Police are looking into whether the suspects and victim were known to each other. They also are trying to determine if the break-in is linked to other home invasions in the city, according to Fox.

"We're investigating all (leads) at this point," he said.

Neighbors along Jorn Court, a short, dirt road cul-de-sac off Packard with just a few homes, said they didn't hear anything out of the ordinary Thursday night. A neighbor who didn't want to be named would only say that the father and son had always been "great neighbors."

Investigators have no viable leads at this point and hope the public can assist.

The victim described the suspects as young, black males wearing dark clothing. Anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the area is asked to call the Detective William Stanford at 734-323-2628, the Ann Arbor Police Tipline at 734-794-6939 or e-mail TIPS@a2gov.org.
