A West Towson man was shot early Sunday when he surprised a burglar in his home, Baltimore County police said.
The home's occupant arrived at the house in the 500 block of Allegheny Avenue around 1:30 a.m. to find the burglary in progress, said Cpl. Robert Carman. The burglar shot the man and then fled, Carman said.
The victim was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Carman said.
A suspect was arrested a few hours later in Towson, Carman said. His name has not been released.
