A teenager in Southeast Houston got shot by a homeowner last week while allegedly trying to break into a car on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14-year-old boy got caught in the act by the homeowner, who then shot the suspect in the stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being shot by the homeowner, the boy ran for help and knocked on a neighbor’s door, who rushed him to a hospital. Fortunately, he’s expected to recover from his injuries, despite needing surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports say that previous to this incident, another homeowner was seen chasing the teenager away from a different car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, this isn’t the first time there’s been a string of break-ins and thefts in the area. A witness told ABC13<\/em><\/a> she had seen strangers strolling down the street and looking into people’s houses earlier that day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she came home she found a crime scene and said her husband had heard gunshots, stating that this was normal for their neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
