(7/20/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON) (KTRK) -- A northwest Harris County homeowner says he shot a man in the legs on Friday because the man trespassed on his property.
The homeowner told deputies he heard dogs barking so he went outside and saw a man in his backyard.
He confronted the suspect and that's when the suspect pulled out some type of hammer or ax.
The homeowner then shot the suspect twice in the legs.
The suspect jumped the fence and ran off into some nearby woods.
A police dog found him a short time later. He was taken into custody on a stretcher.
