An intruder allegedly broke a window in his attempt to enter a North Carolina home Wednesday night and ignored verbal warnings — so the homeowner opened fire on the intruder, sending him to a hospital.

Knightdale police said the incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. in the 1300 block of Redwood Valley Lane, WTVD-TV reported.

The homeowner told the police the suspect broke a window to get inside the house and ignored verbal warnings before the homeowner shot him, the station said.

Police said they found 35-year-old Juan Acevedo of Knightdale with a gunshot wound when they arrived at the scene, WTVD said, adding that he was taken to WakeMed Trauma Center. The station said information on his condition hasn't been released.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner, investigators told WTVD, although officials are consulting with the district attorney's office to discuss the case. The station said no details have been released regarding what charges Acevedo may face.

Anyone in the area with video or information about the incident is urged to contact police at 919-217-2281, WTVD said.

Folks commenting underneath WTVD's Facebook post about the incident seem decidedly supportive of the homeowner's actions:
