DALLAS (Reuters) - A pair of would-be burglars picked the wrong home to visit over the weekend when they allegedly broke into the residence of one of Dallas's best-known police officers.
One suspect was shot in the leg trying to flee the scene and both men were arrested after they allegedly tried to rob the home of Senior Cpl. Chris Gilliam, a spokesman for the Dallas police, who was home at the time, police said on Monday.
Gilliam, who is often seen in the local media delivering news on crime in Dallas, made the news by giving chase to the suspects, shooting one in the thigh, police said.
The suspect who was shot was arrested by Gilliam and is recovering at a local hospital while police captured the other suspect later.
Gilliam, who is usually quick to respond to media inquiries, said he was not able to comment on the matter until the standard investigation into an officer firing his weapon had been completed.
