CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) - Authorities in southwestern Idaho say a burglary suspect was shot after a confrontation with police.

The man, who has not yet been identified, was taken to a local hospital after getting shot on Friday.

According to law enforcement officials, officers and a SWAT team spent several hours searching a blocked-off neighborhood after receiving a report of man trying to break into a Caldwell home.



The suspect was allegedly found holed inside a house and ordered to come out without his weapon.

Caldwell Police Chief Frank Wyant says the man was shot when he left the house, but it’s unclear if he had a gun or fired at officers.
