An off-duty Houston police officer shot a suspected burglar at his home early Monday, wounding the man and setting off a brief search near two Pasadena schools.

Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said the man attempted to break into the home of a Houston police officer around 12:20 a.m. Monday. After he broke a glass door and attempted to unlock it, the officer opened fire, wounding him.
