HOLIDAY — A 16-year-old girl suffered a gunshot wound during a home invasion early Thursday morning, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. But she wasn't shot by the home invaders — instead, deputies said, she was accidentally shot by someone inside the home trying to defend himself.

Deputies ended up arresting two adults and two teens who lived in the house on drug charges. Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said they turned 3326 Garfield Drive into a "drug house."

One of the men accused of breaking into the home was identified as Anthony Stephens, 19. All three men are on the run, and the sheriff delivered this warning:

"We're going to hunt you down and we're going to find you," Nocco said at a news conference Thursday.

The home invasion took place about 1 a.m., Nocco said. There were six people inside the home, some of whom were just spending the night.

During the home invasion, occupant Antonios Kourounis, 19, raised his shotgun and aimed at the assailants, the sheriff said. But as he pulled the trigger, a teenager who also lived in the home was trying to run across the room. Instead of shooting one of the assailants, deputies said, Kourounis struck the girl in the shoulder with buckshot.

The wounded 16-year-old, who was not identified, was reported to be in serious condition at an undisclosed hospital. She had been spending the night at 3326 Garfield Drive with her boyfriend, deputies said.

After the teen was shot, instead of trying to help her, Nocco said, occupants of the home started moving marijuana out. "As soon as the robbery occurred and the victim was shot," Nocco said, "that was their first impulse: to hide the dope."

A teen in the house called 911 while the home's renter, Karen Lynn Clark, 36, tended to the girl. But the sheriff blamed Clark for the drugs in the house.

Clark was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, operating a drug house, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three counts of child neglect. Colton Conrad, 19, faces charges of possession of marijuana, violation of probation and possession of ammunition as a felon. The Tampa Bay Times is not identifying the two teens who were arrested because of their ages.

Kourounis was not arrested, the Sheriff's Office said, because he fired his weapon in self-defense during the home invasion. And while Kourounis was probably aware of the marijuana, Nocco said, he was not directly involved with it.

Deputies responded to the house for a reported robbery home invasion in September. They've also visited the home seven times since January 2015.
