Police: Greeley homeowner shoots intruder who attacked him

A homeowner shot an intruder who entered his home and attacked him, the Greeley Police Department said Friday.

Police said officers responded to a reported shooting in the 1200 block of Sixth Street on Sunday at 6:41 p.m. The man who called 911 said he had shot a man who broke into his home.

When officers arrived, 25-year-old Reynaldo Francisco was lying in the home’s entryway with a gunshot wound in his leg. Police said he was conscious and breathing.

Francisco was taken to a hospital. He survived his injuries, police said.

Police said Francisco entered the victim’s multi-residential home through the front door. The victim asked Francisco to leave several times.

Francisco attacked the victim, who then retrieved a gun from his waistband and shot Francisco, police said.

Francisco has been discharged from the hospital and booked into the Weld County Jail. He faces charges of third-degree assault and first-degree burglary.

This is an active investigation. Anyone with information who has not been interviewed by police is asked to contact police at 970-350-9549.
