Resident shoots an armed man during Miami Gardens home invasion, police say
A resident shot and wounded an armed man who broke into his Miami Gardens house Monday morning in what police are calling a home invasion.
The man shot was one of three men who entered the residence at 3035 NW 204th Terrace around 11:45 a.m., police said.
Armed with a rifle, he opened the bedroom door before the resident grabbed a gun and fired, striking him in the arm, according to police. The other two men fled.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue paramedics took the wounded man to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital. Police, who said the alleged intruder’s condition was unknown as of Monday afternoon, have not released his name.
The shooting remains under investigation, and police did not immediately respond to follow up questions asking if the resident will face charges.
