Troopers responded about 3:30 a.m. Sunday after being notified that an adult male had been shot while attempting to rob a home in North Pole, troopers said in a statement. The homeowner shot the intruder using a long gun, said Trooper Public Information Officer Austin McDaniel.
At the home, troopers discovered that the intruder had been struck in the leg and was still alive. The unnamed intruder was taken to a local hospital before being airlifted to an Anchorage hospital, troopers said.
Based on a preliminary investigation, there is no known connection between the intruder and the homeowner and the incident appears random, McDaniel said. The motive for the attempted burglary is still under investigation.
