“Upon investigation it was determined that the suspect came over to a home uninvited, forced their way in, and assaulted the victim. A person inside the residence shot the suspect,” said Lt. Steven Bauer of the Dayton Police Department.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries described as not life-threatening.

The incident remains under investigation but the suspect is in custody, Bauer said.
