A man is in the hospital after authorities said he broke into a Grayson County home and was shot by the owner.
Neighbors said the homeowner, who is elderly and bedridden, told them the intruder worked on his yard in the past and has allegedly created problems recently.
The owner told them he heard the man breaking into his home off of Farmington Road, between Van Alstyne and Howe, Thursday night around 10 p.m.
“Saw the person, told him to leave and he didn’t,” Capt. Sarah Bigham said.
Grayson County Capt. Sarah Bigham said the homeowner shot the alleged intruder then called 911.
Neighbors said the homeowner had a gun right next to his bed and shot the man in the stomach three times.
“The person he shot was no longer at the residence when our deputies arrived there,” Bigham said.
So deputies started searching for the man who was shot and later found him at a local hospital, but they still don’t know how he got there.
