A 59-year-old homeowner in Apache Junction, defended his home from home invaders by shooting one of three suspects who broke into his home, wounding the intruder.

According to the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, there was a shootout between the homeowner and the three suspects. One of those suspects, identified by PCSO as Sal Anthony Olmos, 19, of Mesa, was wounded, but is expected to recover.
“Sal had a non-life threatening shotgun wound to the upper part of both of his legs,” spokesman Tim Gaffney said. Gaffney said Olmos one of the four people who live in the home owed him a significant amount of money.
