The
Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a non-fatal shooting
at a Temple Hills home early this morning. The preliminary investigation
reveals a homeowner shot a man who was trying to break into his home.
On
January 13, 2016, at about 1:50 am, patrol officers were called to the 3900
block of Brinkley Road for the report of a shooting. When they arrived, they
found the suspect with gunshot wounds to his legs. He was taken to a hospital
for treatment. Preliminarily, his injuries are not considered life threatening.
The
preliminary investigation reveals the two residents were alerted by the
family’s dog to a noise at the front door. The residents discovered the suspect
was outside and appeared to be trying to get inside. The suspect had already
pried open their storm door. One of the residents called 911; the second
resident got a weapon and shot the suspect through the front door.
Preliminarily,
there is no known connection between the victims and the suspect. Detectives
will consult with the State’s Attorney’s Office to determine what charges will
be filed against the suspect.
