Homeowner shoots intruder attempting to break into Henry County home<\/a><\/p>\n

HENRY COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) \u2013 An intruder was critically injured after being shot by a homeowner during an attempted break-in early Friday morning in southeast Henry County, according to Henry County Sheriff John Sproles.<\/p>\n

At 1:45 a.m. Friday, Henry County deputies responded to a residence after a homeowner called 911 and reported someone was trying to break into his home. The homeowner had heard his dog barking and a voice outside.<\/p>\n

When deputies arrived, they found a man lying on the front porch with a gunshot wound to the face.<\/p>\n

Sproles said the intruder had broken two front windows and was reaching inside the home, attempting to pull the blinds down when the homeowner fired one shot from a 45-caliber handgun.<\/p>\n

The intruder was airlifted to a hospital in Indianapolis, where he underwent surgery. He was listed in critical but stable condition.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not released the intruder\u2019s identity, but confirmed he\u2019s had 135 prior interactions with law enforcement in Henry County, most of which were related to mental health issues.<\/p>\n

Sproles said the case appears to be an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to the public. There was not a motive for the break-in.<\/p>\n

The homeowner, who was home with his wife and three-year-old child at the time, is cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis incident highlights the dire crisis we are facing with inadequate resources to house people with mental illness,\u201d Sproles said.<\/p>\n

Sproles said his deputies had \u201cjust completed an all week Crisis intervention training here with approximately 20 law-enforcement officers from our county, including the New Castle police department, members of the State Police, and the Middletown and Knightstown police departments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
