Report: Intruder shot by cop's mother

An intruder who broke into a home early Saturday near Broad and Poplar Streets was shot in the upper left arm, police said. According to 6ABC, he was shot by the mother of a police officer.

Police said that about 4:40 a.m., a 43-year-old man broke into a home on the 1300 block of Poplar when the woman who lived there fired a gun at him. The man then fled onto the roof of a car wash at Broad and Brown Streets, where he called police, according to 6ABC, which identified the woman as Maxine Thompson. He was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition with a graze wound.

Thompson told the television station that the man broke into the house through a rear window and went upstairs after her.

"I reached down and grabbed my gun; he was at my bedroom door," she told 6ABC. "And I shot at him a couple times. He ran down the steps, and I ran down the steps behind him. I shot some more, and he jumped out the window, he jumped out the same window he came in and he jumped back out."

No further information was available Saturday.
