A suspected burglar who attempted to rob an Oakland Park house Wednesday evening was shot by the homeowner, police said.
Broward Sheriff’s Office said Kevin Madigan, 45, of Boca Raton, broke into 73-year-old Charles Rieckman’s home at 4431 NE 18th Ave., through his front window, and stole a TV.
As Madigan was trying to put the TV in his getaway car, a Toyota Camry, Rieckman went for his gun.
The robber then attacked a neighbor that was standing outside her home and tried to steal her phone as she was reporting the robbery to police. That’s when Rieckman emerged from his home and fired several shots at Madigan as he was attacking the woman.
A wounded Madigan fled in his car, but eventually crashed in the area of Northeast 43rd Street and 11th Avenue.
