FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KMPH) -
Fresno County Sheriff's Deputies say a 38-year-old man was shot in the head after a home burglary near Selma.
It happened around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in the area of Dinuba and Temperance avenues.
Deputies say the owners of the vacant property showed up and found the home had been burglarized. As they checked the property, a man and a woman in a pickup truck pulled up the driveway and asked if they had any scrap items. The owners told them to leave.
According to the sheriff's office, as the man turned the truck around and started down the driveway, one of the property owners feared he was going to be hit by the truck so he pulled out a gun and shot at the pickup.
One of the rounds hit the driver in the head, causing him to crash the truck in a vineyard across the street, deputies said.
Both the man and woman ran to a nearby home and called for help, while the property owners called the sheriff's office.
The man who was shot was flown to Community Regional Medical Center. It's not known how he is doing, but investigators say he is expected to survive.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Fresno County Sheriff's Office at (559) 488-3111.
