Tables Turned on Intruder During Home Invasion

SAN ANTONIO -- The tables turned on a burglar when a homeowner took matters into his own hands.

Police say the intruder broke in through the garage and had been drinking prior to the break-in. The pregnant woman inside the home was getting ready to give her 18-month-old child a bath when she heard noises. She saw the man walking around outside and called her husband. He confronted the intruder in the kitchen.

Police say the homeowner shot the intruder in the chest. He is now listed in critical condition at University Hospital. He could face burglary charges this morning.

The homeowner will not face any charges.
