Indiana homeowner shot a man in alleged self-defense: "Metro Police say a homeowner shot a man in self-defense outside his eastside home Saturday morning. But it's not the man's first time using a gun..... Metro Police were called by a homeowner, Richard Burns, who said he had just shot a man behind his Brookville Road home. "Apparently he heard a noise outside, went outside to see what was going on, and related to the detectives that this individual came at him with a knife, and which time he fired a shot," IMPD Sgt. Paul Thompson said. Burns told detectives the man he shot was coming out of his car, perhaps trying to steal it. The victim was hit in the chest and taken to Wishard Hospital in serious condition. While doctors work to save the victim's life, detectives work to figure out a complex case. Police will determine if this shooting was indeed self-defense. What they'll also look at is the fact that Mr. Burns has been involved in two other shootings, this year alone.... Metro Police tell 24-Houre News 8 that Richard Burns does have a valid gun permit. As for the victim, he didn't have any identification on him, so police haven't identified him, but they do say his injuries are not considered life threatening."
