A 33-year-old man is recovering after he was shot in the upper leg after allegedly forcing his way into a home belonging to another man.

It happened around 12 a.m. at a home in the 9700 block of Evergreen Drive in Bridgman.

During the initial investigation, officers learned that the gunshot victim’s wife was inside the home when the incident occurred.

When confronting the intruder, the homeowner, who was armed with a handgun, was allegedly punched in the head. The gun discharged during the fight, which struck the suspected intruder in the upper leg.

The man who was shot was taken to Spectrum Health Lakeland Hospital in St. Joseph. He was last listed in stable condition and his injuries are not life-threatening.

The incident appears to stem from a domestic situation and the investigation is ongoing.
