Union City Woman Shot During Home Invasion
UNION CITY (CBS SF) -- A woman was shot by one of three people who forced her inside her Union City home at gunpoint on Monday night, police said.
Police responded to the shooting on Hanford Street at 10:17 p.m.
The three had confronted the 62-year-old woman outside of her home and then forced her back inside at gunpoint, police said.
At some point a fight broke out between the intruders and one of the residents, and one of the intruders opened fire.
