Teen shot during home invasion arrested

HREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) — A Shreveport teenager has been arrested in connection with a foiled burglary during which a resident shot an intruder, police confirm.

It was about midnight Thursday when a family heard someone breaking into their home in the 3800 block of Fairfield Avenue. That’s at Dudley Drive and a few blocks from Mall St. Vincent in Shreveport’s Fairfield neighborhood.

The homeowner told police that someone was trying to force his way in through a rear window.

The resident, who was inside at the time, armed himself with a gun and fired at the intruder, grazing him in his right hip.

The homeowner then held the intruder at gunpoint until police arrived.

Officers found the wounded man, later identified as 18-year-old Morgan Matthews, outside in the back of the residence.
