A Winter Park homeowner shot a burglary suspect in the face Thursday afternoon in his driveway and a manhunt continues for two other suspects, according to police.

Winter Park police responded to a residential burglary call involving three suspects around 12:30 p.m. on Williams Drive in the affluent Park Grove neighborhood, Sgt. Frank Cowart said.

Cowart said the suspect vehicle was backed up in the driveway when the homeowner arrived and confronted the suspects. It's not clear how many shots were fired.

Police say it appears at this point that the shooting was justified.

The suspects did make entry into the home, but it's not clear if they got away with anything.

After the shooting the three suspects fled in their black four-door sedan, which crashed nearby at Columbia Drive and Summerlin Avenue, said Cowart. . .
