It appears the intruders thought the home was empty. They entered the home through a sliding glass door.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of intruders is unclear. Reports vary, most claiming 2 or 3 suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-did-what\">Who Did What?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LAPD Captain Kelly Muniz gave a press conference after the break-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Two suspects entered a residence with an occupant inside,&#8221; Muniz said.

The circumstances leading to the homeowner firing his gun are unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The homeowner shot one of the suspects twice, hitting him in the neck. Any accomplices with him fled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-aftermath\">The Aftermath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Police arrived at the scene to find the suspect, identified only as a 25-year-old male, still in the home.  According to <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/alleged-intruder-reportedly-shot-by-homeowner-in-valley-village\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"burglar-shot-in-california-home-next-to-charter-school\" title=\"Burglary Suspect Shot in California Home Next to Charter School\"><em>KTLA5<\/em><\/a>, he was still conscious when they transported him to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police set up a perimeter to apprehend the other intruder and a potential getaway driver. K9 units assisted in the search.&nbsp; Police have not released reports of either suspect\u2019s capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The homeowner was also injured during the break-in.
