Florida Man Shoots Intruder After Walking In on Home Invasion at Jacksonville Apartment
A suspected home invasion ended with a teenage intruder shot and hospitalized Monday afternoon at a Jacksonville apartment complex near Jacksonville University.
As reported by First Coast News, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigators responded to a shooting call at approximately 4 p.m. at the Lakeside Nest Apartments on University Boulevard North. Arriving officers found a male in his late teens suffering from a gunshot wound to the shoulder. The victim was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
What makes this case stand out from many home invasion incidents is the sequence of events. Rather than waking up to a break-in or being caught off guard inside his own home, the homeowner returned to his residence and discovered the intruder already inside.
JSO Sgt. Christopher Smith said detectives determined the homeowner confronted the intruder upon walking in, and the intruder was subsequently shot. All parties involved were detained and are cooperating with the investigation.
