DALLAS, TX – Early Wednesday morning, a burglary suspect learned a harsh lesson about breaking into homes when he was shot by an occupant of a residence in far southwest Dallas.
The incident occurred shortly after 4:30 a.m. at a home in the 7100 block of Nutmeg Lane, near the Cedar Ridge Preserve and close to Duncanville, DeSoto, and Cedar Hill. As reported by local news, the suspect broke into the home where people were present. In response, someone inside the home fired at the intruder.
The suspect was transported to a hospital and underwent surgery on Wednesday morning. Details about the suspect’s condition and further information about the incident have not yet been released. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries to any of the home’s occupants.
This incident serves as a stark reminder to would-be burglars: if you choose to break into someone’s home, you are putting your life at serious risk.
