Investigators determined Keasey was trying to break into the home when the homeowner opened fire to defend his family.
Officials say Keasey was transported by air ambulance to Methodist hospital in Des Moines, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was discharged and taken into custody on charges of third-degree burglary, fourth-degree criminal mischief, and simple assault.
Officials say it doesn’t appear Keasey and the residents of the home had any relationship and this was an isolated incident.
