Man shoots robber at his house

TAYLOR, Texas (KXAN) - Taylor police said Quinnton Gault, 22, is charged with aggravated robbery after he broke into the home of James Baldwin.

Police said Gault used a knife to rob Baldwin of his wallet and cell phone. But as he left, Baldwin shot Gault with a 22-revolver. Gault ran away, but police found him hiding in the bushes near the home later with a gunshot wound to his side.

"You have the right to protect yourself in your home," said Daniel Ramsay, assistant police chief. "We don't encourage anyone the fire a firearm because we don't know where the bullet is going to go."

Doctors did remove the bullet from Gault. He was arrested after being discharged from the hospital.
