Homeowner shoots man who reportedly broke into home west of Springfield, Mo.<\/a><\/p>\n

NEAR SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Authorities say a man who forced entry into a home west of Springfield was shot Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The Greene County Sheriff\u2019s Office is investigating the shooting, which happened just after 6:30 Friday morning. Deputies went to a house in the 6000 block of West Independence. That is an outer road of I-44 near Highway MM, just west of Springfield.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the sheriff\u2019s office says the initial call was for a possible residential burglary. When deputies arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

Investigators say that man forced entry through the front door of the house, then the homeowner shot him after a confrontation.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
It\u2019s unknown where the man was shot or his condition, but the sheriff\u2019s office says the suspect was injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sgt. Jason Winston says it is still early in the investigation but at this point, they don\u2019t believe the homeowner knew the man who was shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no idea what the motive was behind this,\u201d said Greene County Deputy Jason Winston. \u201cI\u2019m sure detectives, when they do their interviews and things like that, they\u2019ll find out more details. But as of now, it\u2019s still early. It\u2019s still fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities have not yet determined a motive in the incident.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u201cWe have no idea why the suspect decided to pick this particular residence and force entry,\u201d said Deputy Winston. \u201cThis is a quiet area. We don\u2019t receive a lot of calls out here.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Greene Sheriff\u2019s Office says it\u2019s too early to determine whether the homeowner was justified through Missouri\u2019s stand your ground law. But they say the law is there to allow people to protect themselves when someone breaks into their home.<\/p>\n

An investigation remains ongoing, but the sheriff\u2019s office believes this was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
