IL: Armed Homeowner Shoots two Intruders; Police Checking for FOID

An attempted robbery early Friday involving a Springfield homeowner who shot two intruders wasn't a random act, police said.

Detectives were still conducting interviews Friday afternoon, but criminal charges are expected to be filed against the two men who were shot, police said. Both were hospitalized in what authorities described as stable condition.
