Police continue to investigate the shooting of an intruder Saturday night by a homeowner in the Elizabethtown area.

The homeowner called Jennings County dispatchers at 7:15 p.m. to report there had been an altercation and he had shot the intruder who was inside his home, according to a report from the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department.

While officers were en route to the home, Jennings County dispatchers received a call from a male who said he had been shot. That male was at the Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department State at 700 Washington St.

Police went to both the home and fire station where medical aid was provided.

Indiana State Police were contacted and during the course of the investigation, it was determined there was a physical altercation between the homeowner and a male subject who gained entry into the home. The homeowner discharged his firearm striking the male, who then drove himself to the fire station.

Medical aid was provided by members of the fire department and area law enforcement. The male was eventually airlifted to an Indianapolis area hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound and is listed in critical condition, police said.

The investigation is on-going and more information will be released as it becomes available, police said.
