Two men are in custody following a botched home invasion on the city�s south side that left a homeowner's dog injured. On January 9, 2006, police responded around 10 a.m to a prowler call in the 3600 block of Avenue L. When they arrived, a man emerged from a side door and pointed a gun at an officer, said Fort Worth police department spokesman Lt. Dean Sullivan.
The officer, fearing for his life, fired at the man but did not strike him, Lt Sullivan said. The man dropped his gun and fled but was later arrested, police said. A second man was found in a nearby alley and taken into custody. A woman at the home told police the invaders entered the house after breaking a side window. The woman escaped through the backdoor and ran to a neighbor�s home. Police said they believe the suspects shot the homeowner�s dog when they arrived.
The dog, a Rottweiler and pit bull mix, was taken by animal control to a local veterinarian clinic, police said
