Jacksonville police are investigating what happened during a home invasion just before noon today that ended with the homeowner shooting a suspect. The incident happened on Wiley Oaks Lane off Old Middleburg Road on the Westside.
That's where police are searching for more than one suspect who tried to break-in to a home but they were greeted by the gun of the homeowner. 9-year old Ziare Anderson, a neighbor, says he was getting the mail when saw one of the suspects stumbling out from behind the house. Ziare says he stumbled out into the street and fell to the ground, bleeding from his chest. That person was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police say they believe there were three suspects involved. No arrests have been made yet, but they are still searching for the two who left the scene unharmed. Sergeant Jay Farhat with JSO says they'll have more information as to the circumstances of the incident once they've interviewed the people who were in the house when the suspects broke in.
