A father shot a man at his daughter’s home in Santa Ana overnight as the intruder – the woman’s ex-boyfriend – tried to crawl through a window, police said.

The incident occurred on Sunday, April 22 at about 1:50 a.m. Police responded to the house in the 1600 block of W. McFadden earlier, after receiving a domestic violence call, but the ex-boyfriend was not there when they arrived, Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.

“Apparently, he returned later,” Bertagna said. “The father confronted the suspect as he was coming through a window.”

The wounded man was identified as Robert White, 38, of Garden Grove, Bertagna said. He was transported to a hospital. Bertagna said White did not live at the house.

The incident is being investigated. Additional details were not immediately available on Sunday.
