Iowa Home Invasion

Triangle Bar

Well-known member
COALVILLE, Iowa —A homeowner and an alleged robber are in the hospital with serious injuries after a home invasion early Sunday morning.

Police said that shortly after 6 a.m., a man knocked on the front door of a Coalville resident. The man cut the homeowner in the neck with a knife.

The homeowner then used a handgun to fire three shots into the man's torso. The suspect managed to drive five miles away from the scene on Old Mill Road, just south of Fort Dodge, where police ultimately found him.

The alleged robber was airlifted to a Des Moines hospital, and the homeowner was taken to a hospital in Fort Dodge.

Webster County Sheriff Jim Stubbs said he believes the man was attempting to rob the home.

While charges are pending, police said the homeowner was acting in self-defense.
