A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night after a resident in a north Johnson City home confronted him as he was attempting to burglarize the residence, according to Sgt. Don Shepard with the Johnson City Police Department.
Shepard said the call came in at 6 p.m. and patrol units responded to the residence at 104 White Way Drive.
“They made contact with the ... resident of the home who was holding a subject at gunpoint,” Shepard said. “The subject appeared to have broken into the residence and was in possession of some of the items from the residence. The resident ... confronted him, asked him to put his hands out, the guy put his hands in his pocket. The resident ... fired one round and it struck the ... subject in the leg. It doesn’t appear to be any life-threatening injuries.”
