Intruder is shot in alleged burglary
Police said a man was asleep in his apartment, near 600 West and 1400 North, when he heard a knock at the door about 2 a.m. When he answered the door, no one was there and the next thing he knew, a man had broken the window and was climbing into the apartment, Layton Assistant Chief of Police Craig Gibson said.
The man grabbed his gun and yelled at the intruder, later identified as 19-year-old Eleazer Maya, to leave, and when he didn't comply, shots were fired.
"He shot about nine rounds and struck him three times, two in the leg and one time in the hand," Gibson said.
Gibson said Maya told police he thought it was his own apartment and that the relative living with him just wasn't letting him in. He said Maya may have been intoxicated at the time.
Maya was treated at a local hospital and later booked into the Davis County Jail on alleged charges of burglary.
