A man trying to break into someone's car may have gotten more than he bargained for. Police say the homeowner shot at the suspect.

Officers say the man was trying to get into a car outside a home in Canadatown, in Whitley County, when the homeowner came out with a gun.

He shot at the man, who took- off. Police don't know if the would-be thief was actually shot.

Authorities say they are not ruling out possible charges against the homeowner.

I agree with most of you, but learn how to spell words correctly. It is ignorant people like you who give great states like Kentucky a bad name.

My wife is from Corbin and I visit regularly. I see NO reason for that homeowner to be prosecuted, even if a. they weren't breaking into his house but into his car, b. several incidents have occurred previously. why? ITS HIS PROPERTY. plain and simple. I would stipulate that it might be easier on the fella if he puts up a no trespassing sign though. I'm sure folks that live around him know that its not a healthy idea to go poking around his property after dark. To the anonymous poster: to address the lack of evidence of an intruder..would YOU stick around if someone was shooting at you? umm helloooo! What I see here isn't excitement. this is a general consensus held by many people. Its hard enough to make a decent living in NE TN/SE Kentucky without someone stealing what you've worked hard to have.
