Overview

• Officers responded around 10 a.m. Friday to reports of a shooting at an apartment on Oxnard Street in North Hollywood.
• The resident told police he heard noises, confronted a man trying to enter through a window, warned him, and fired once, saying he struck the intruder in the chest.
• Initial checks at the scene found no sign of a gunshot wound and a police dog detected no blood trail.
• Police later said a man matching the account arrived at a local emergency room with a chest wound and was transferred to Northridge for treatment.
• No arrests have been made as LAPD treats the case as a burglary and shooting and continues to seek corroborating evidence.
