The Mobile County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting where a female homeowner mistakenly shot someone she knew early Monday morning.

MCSO Spokesman Joe Mahoney confirmed the incident and said that it occurred in the 16000 block of Bud Odom Rd in Citronelle around 1:45 a.m.

Mahoney said the female homeowner at the residence shot an acquaintance, a 35-year-old man, after mistaking him for a burglar. The MCSO said the man entered the residence unannounced and it appears to be an accidental shooting at this time.

The 35-year-old man remains in a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
