A homeowner shot a man outside his home with a shotgun early today. Police were investigating whether the gunman was responsible for a shooting that occurred one block away moments earlier. The incident began about 4:30 a.m. when a caller told police someone was firing a shotgun into an apartment in the 500 block of Gillis Street. The apartment was occupied, but no one was hit. Officers responding to the call encountered a man in a truck who had suffered a minor wound, possibly from a shotgun pellet. Moments later, police received another call from a man who heard a commotion outside his home in the 500 block of Troost Avenue. The homeowner saw a man running with a shotgun and told him to drop the weapon. The man with the shotgun allegedly threatened the homeowner and the homeowner shot him. The shotgun-wielding man suffered serious injuries, police said. Police were investigating both shootings.

The very first sentence states it was a shotgun. But this is very confusing. The read I take is the home owner shot a gut carrying a shotgun with a shotgun. So, two shotguns. And the guy who was shot shot at least one other person, as well as shooting into some other residence.
“serious injuries” well, we can hope “life threatening injuries” or “life ending injuries”
