A mother, who has a CCL, said her 18-year-old daughter had just returned to her bedroom when someone tried to break in..

"He was, like, hanging on her window. I just told him that, 'I have a gun. I'm going to shoot.' And he just didn't stop. I fired a warning shot. I didn't even know that he got hit," the mother said.

Police found 36-year-old Christopher Grady shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital in fair condition.
