The gunman struck the man, who was shot during the ensuing struggle, Willingham said.

The armed man demanded specific items from the home, Willingham said.

The woman left the home for a short time and then returned, Willingham said.

The man, who reportedly is 68 years old, was taken by ambulance to a hospital in serious condition, EMSA Public Information Officer Chris Stevens said.

The shooter was described as white, in his early 20s, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 165 pounds. He was wearing a gray hooded shirt and blue jeans.

Didn't know if anyone had seen this site to find info about stories that don't make the news. "Home invasions" are not listed as such, they appear to be in the robbery section listed as "residential".

The resident then punched the man in the face, Willingham said.

Hicks was taken to the hospital for treatment before being booked on a $50,000 bond, police report.
