Only problem here is the article referring to the shot intruder as a victim, which is a common theme in locales not friendly to gun ownership.
Vermont police investigating suspected home invasion, shooting
WESTMINSTER, Vt. — One man was shot Monday during a suspected home invasion in southern Vermont, according to investigators with state police.
Police said they received notice of a shooting inside a Westminster home just before 11 a.m. The victim, 40-year-old Daniel King, was driven to a local care center before being flown to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
In an updated release Monday night, police said King was in “stable” condition at the hospital. His condition was previously unknown.
Investigators said the shooting followed a home invasion at Shady Pines Park, a mobile home park in the community. The man shot is accused of intruding with another person — the property owner reportedly opened fire on both.
No other injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
State police said no one was in custody as of Monday night and no charged had been filed.
Authorities said the investigation remains in the preliminary stages.
