Intruder shot in San Marcos

A man San Marcos police said was shot after breaking into a home on Oscar Smith Drive armed with a BB gun, is in stable condition today at University Medical Center Brackenridge, police Commander Penny Dunn said.

Police released no names involved in the shooting as they continued their investigation, Dunn said. No charges have been filed in the case, she said.

Officers were first called at 9:50 p.m. Wednesday from someone reporting a break-in in progress at the back door of a home in the 700 block of Oscar Smith Drive, Dunn said.

One of three people in the home at the time fired several shots at a man Dunn said was armed with a BB handgun. The intruder then fled on foot wounded, she said.

Dunn said police were alerted that a man with several gunshot wounds came to Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos after 10 p.m. Doctors there gave him primary treatment and the suspect was transferred to Brackenridge, she said.

Maybe it was an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

Careful! You might shoot your eye out with it Ralphie!

It's odd that the report didn't mention the people in the house calling police.

joe817: Well, the story doesn't explicitly state that the occupants of the home invaded were
the callers, but SOMEBODY called, and I bet it was the victims. SIA

Yeah, I guess you're right SIA. I skimmed over that part and forgot to remember that I read it.

The question is, "Did he poke his eye out?"
