SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - Cochise County authorities say a 26-year-old man is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot in an incident in which a Sierra Vista-area woman reported shooting an intruder.

Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Carol Capas says the 69-year-old woman called Thursday night to report she’d just shot a man wearing dark clothing who had attempted to break into her home.

The woman said her home had been burglarized earlier Thursday.



No identities were released. Capas says the investigation continues.
