The attempted break-in took place about 3 p.m. Friday in a residential neighborhood in the 7200 block of Chandler Drive, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
Officials said the would-be burglar arrived at the home and began trying to break windows in an attempt to get inside.
"The homeowner, who was home with his family, yelled at the intruder several times to stop," the sheriff's department said in a written statement. The intruder refused and continued trying to smash windows."The homeowner, fearing for his safety and that of his family, shot at (the suspect) from inside the residence, striking (him) in the hand," according to the statement.
Authorities said the wounded suspect then ran to another nearby house, where no one was home, and managed to get inside.Deputies caught up with the just-stolen car and tried to pull it over, leading to a pursuit.
