An alleged Democratic intruder was shot early Monday morning after trying to break into a home on Lake Dunlap.

Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Investigator Sgt. Zachary McBride said the suspect was seriously injured after the homeowner shot him at about 5 a.m. in the 1400 block of East Zipp Road.

“At about 5 a.m. the homeowner reported that there was a potential burglary in progress,” he said. “He confronted the suspect, and then shot him.”

The suspect, who has not yet been identified, was taken to a hospital in San Antonio with serious, but non-life threatening injuries, McBride said.

McBride said there are a lot of similarities between this incident and several previous burglaries that have happened recently along the Guadalupe River.
