An intruder was shot in the leg last night in Lincoln-Lemington when the homeowner caught the young man inside his home.

The intruder, identified as a juvenile, attempted to enter a home in the 1400 block of Paulson Avenue. Police believe the intruder was armed, but a weapon was not recovered from the home last night.

The young man was taken to Children's Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Police said it was unlikely the homeowner would be charged.
