GALLIPOLIS, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Deputies in Gallia County are investigating a home invasion where one of the suspects was shot.

The sheriff’s office says it happened shortly after midnight on Clay Lick Road. They say that after the suspects broke into the home, they brandished a weapon at the homeowner. Investigators say the homeowner was able to get a shotgun and shoot one of the suspects in the shoulder. Both suspects were able to flee the scene.

Investigators say a short time later; the sheriff’s office got a call form Holzer Medical Center that a man had been dropped off at the emergency room with a gunshot wound to the chest. That man is believed to be one of the home invasion suspects. He was later transferred to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington. He is said to be in critical, but stable condition.

Investigators believe the driver of the car was the other suspect in the home invasion.

The sheriff is not releasing any names at this time due to the ongoing investigation.
