A homeowner shot two suspects Tuesday afternoon as they allegedly attempted to break into a home on the city’s west side, police said.

The 1:35 p.m. incident happened in the 5400 block of West Outer Drive.

The homeowner fired two shots striking the two male suspects, Detroit Police Officer Dan Donakowski said. He said one of the shot suspects stayed at the scene while the other fled on foot.

One suspect is being detained at a hospital. His condition was unknown. Police continue to look for the second suspect.

It does not appear the homeowner was injured during the incident, Donakowski said. He said he could not confirm if the homeowner is a retired police officer.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Detroit Police 12th Precinct Investigative Unit at (313) 596-1240.
