McKinney PD Investigating Shooting Of 13-Year-Old
McKINNEY (CBS 11 News / AP) ―
McKinney Police believe that a pair of 911 calls about two shootings were really about the same incident--and that the person who got shot was actually the criminal.
According to police, both emergency calls were received shortly after 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning from homes in the 3400 block of Steamboat Drive.
Police say the first call came from a man who lives alone, saying he noticed someone inside his house, so he fired a shot and the person fled.
Lt. Scott Brewer said about two minutes later, the parents of a 13-year-old boy called 911 and reported the teen had been shot in a drive-by.
Police think the two calls were actually about the same incident.
CBS 11 News went to the home where the intruder was shot. While the homeowner didn't want to speak, a woman who says she is his friend talked off-camera about the incident.
The woman claims an intruder broke into the homeowner's house through a side window. The commotion woke up the homeowner, he confronted the male intruder on top of a kitchen counter and told him to leave.
When the intruder didn't comply, the homeowner went to his bedroom, loaded a shotgun and shot the intruder. The woman says the homeowner then locked himself in the bedroom and called 911.
Next door neighbor Colleen Pattalochi says she finds the incident frightening. "Imagine you wake up to someone breaking into your house. I can't even describe the feelings that I have and it didn't happen to me," she said. "I know the conversation I had with him [the homeowner], he's very shaken up. He's certainly traumatized."
The boy was taken by Air Ambulance to Parkland Hospital; his condition is unknown.
