The suspect's son, who is around 7-years-old, was detained by police at the scene.
"We're gonna get help for him," said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.McManus said the suspect, a man in his 30s, was shot as he attempted to break-in through the front window of the home. The window led into a bedroom where the homeowner was sleeping.
The break-in attempt startled the homeowner, a woman in her 30s, and she grabbed her firearm and shot at the suspect twice, striking him at least once, police said.
