FIRST REPORT 2-22-2017

XENIA — A Vermont Drive man was shot Wednesday morning after hearing a sound outside his home, according to city police.

  • The victim was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where he is in stable condition.
  • The victim was shot at least once, according to police.
  • The victim's wife and her baby were home at the time of the shooting.

It’s unclear how many shots were fired.

Xenia Police Capt. Alonzo Wilson said the victim heard a noise outside the home and went to investigate. The victim was inside the home and was shot by an intruder outside, according to Wilson.

"There's nothing that we have right now to believe that there's someone walking around the neighborhood just randomly shooting people,” Wilson said. “That's not what we have here."
