HOUSTON — Houston police say a teenager was allegedly shot during a scuffle with an intruder inside his East End home on Wednesday.
The shooting was reported after 9 p.m. at a home in the 7200 block of Dahlia.
Lt. R. Willkens says the 15-year-old victim was home alone at the time. He told family members someone broke into the house, a burglar, and he was then shot in the head and neck.
The suspect fled the scene. Currently, police do not have a good description of the gunman.
The good news is the victim is expected to survive, Willkens says.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
