A Jessup Street homeowner shot two men who were trying to break into his house early this morning, Lexington police said.
Investigators say they have information that the home invasion stemmed from a previous domestic violence incident.
"It wasn't random," said Lexington Police Lt. Jon Hicks. "They knew the victim."
When the two men allegedly made entry into the home, Delaise Ander Eller went for his shotgun and fired on Shedarrius Pate, 18, of Link Circle, and Kannell Leach, 21, of Greensboro, police said.
A third suspect, Cyrus Clifford Butler, 24, of Greensboro, was waiting outside in a car.
Pate and Leach, the two men who were shot, ran out of the house and jumped into the car, and all three men sped off, police said.
"They didn't make it even two miles," Hicks said. "Officers arriving on the scene observed the car fleeing from the scene."
Butler, the driver, was arrested and charged with first-degree breaking and entering and placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear in Lexington District Court Nov. 13.
Pate and Leach were in the back of the car bleeding when police stopped it. Paramedics drove them to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem where they were being treated for gunshot wounds to the arm, elbow and abdomen.
Warrants for breaking and entering were obtained for Pate and Leach, who are listed in fair condition at the hospital.
Police officials say the district attorney's office will now determine whether Eller shot the intruders in self-defense.

Oh brother....
Well? Maybe they are bros.
True. Sometimes you have to read the article twice to figure out who's who. "Journalists" today leave a lot to be desired.
Them's NC huntin' dawgs.
On the positive side of this incident, judging from the names, no members of the ROP were involved.
Obviously of one of the breeds what is raised in the house, and eats off the table with the rest of the young'ns.
He also did better than me my first time. Actually, everyone who has ever posted an article did better than me on my first time about 8 years ago. IIRC mine was so screwed up it was quickly pulled and never saw daylight again.

But maybe is was that wild and dangerous Quaker cult of highway men, a most dangerous bunch of brigands they are. :)
Good job on the photoshop of the "dawgs" teeth. You have a future working for AP or Reuters. ;)
Actually, that shot was posted on AP with the caption: Bush - Rumsfeld - Rice.
