A man was shot Dec. 22 when he confronted two people who had robbed a homeowner as he unloaded groceries, Garland police said.

Two men approached the homeowner about 10:30 p.m. after he had parked behind his house in the 1900 block of Hearthside Lane, police Lt. Pedro Barineau said.

The man was thrown to the ground, and his two cellphones and money were taken. The two men were riffling through his vehicle when the man's cousin came outside and confronted the robbers, Barineau said.

One of the robbers reportedly shot the cousin and fled. The robbers are still at large.

The victim was taken to an area hospital and underwent surgery for the gunshot wounds, Barineau said.

A detailed description of the robbers was not available.
