Resident Shot With Own Rifle During Home Invasion In Central California
KINGSBURG, Calif. (CBS/AP) -- Investigators say a home invasion robber struggled with an armed Central California resident and shot the man several times with his own rifle.
The 29-year-old Kingsburg man managed to walk to a next-door apartment for help despite leg, back and groin wounds.
He's hospitalized with non-life threatening wounds.
A woman and three men forced their way into the man's apartment early Monday.
He was apparently targeted because he was seen earlier with a large amount of cash.
Kings County sheriff's investigators say the man reached for his .22-caliber rifle but he was immediately attacked and unable to get off a shot.
One of the robbers stabbed him in the hand.
The rifle was then snatched and one of the intruders shot him.
