Woman accused of shooting at intruder

Staff Report

TROTWOOD, Ohio —

Police in Trotwood said a woman fired a shot at a suspected burglar early Sunday morning at 1630 Elaine Street.

The woman told officers that she was sleeping when she heard a rustling sound. She said she first thought it might be her son, but when she asked who was there, a man ran out of the house.

Police said the resident fired a shot, but missed the intruder. 

Officers called in a K-9 unit from Huber Heights, which found a track on Gardendale Avenue, but later lost the scent.

Police said there was a second burglary attempt in the neighborhood, but added that the residents were not cooperating with officers.
