Police Wednesday released sketches of two would-be thieves who were shot at by a homeowner last month as they burglarized a home in southeast Atlanta.
The victim was in the shower around 9 a.m. on August 21 when he heard two men inside his Wellswood Drive home.
The homeowner got out of the shower and grabbed his gun from a nightstand, then saw two men in his living room trying to steal his TV. He yelled at the intruders, and when one turned toward him, he fired a shot and the suspects took off running.
Atlanta police asked that anyone with information on the burglary or the suspects call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the suspects.
