The burglary attempt occurred at approximately 4:00 a.m. <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>The homeowners, a husband and wife, were awakened at approximately 4:00 a.m. due to their dogs barking. Upon further investigation by the male homeowner, he reportedly observed the individuals outside of his garage. He then woke his wife up.  Officials say both retrieved firearms and returned to near the garage where the individuals were said to be located. Authorities say a scuffle ensued once the male homeowner asked all of the individuals for their identification and told him he was calling the police.<\/p>\n<p>According to officials, the male homeowner and the eventual victim were wrestling, and as the alleged burglar attempted to escape, both homeowners fired in his direction. The alleged burglar was struck in the buttocks area, most likely with a large caliber handgun.   The alleged burglar was taken by private vehicle to a Tyler hospital, where he is being treated for the gunshot wound and has been undergoing surgery. The injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, according to officials.  Smith County Sheriff\u2019s Office crime scene investigators and detectives are continuing the investigation at this time and are attempting to locate the two men who escaped the scene, according to officials.
