The man was shot in the arm and has a non-life-threatening injury, said Beane. A suspect was taken into custody.
He was able to drive the repossessed vehicle to North Dixie Drive and was then transported to the hospital by medics, according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch.

The woman said she was in the back of the house at the time and didn’t witness the shooting, but thought someone could be injured, according to dispatch records.
