“Police descended on the farm cottage in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire after receiving a 999 call from a man who said he had opened fire on four intruders,” dailymail.co.uk reports. “The man who dialed 999 told officers he had fired his shotgun, which is licensed and legally held, and the intruders fled. Minutes later, ambulance paramedics were called to treat a man with shotgun injuries. The 999 call was understood to have been made by one of the suspected burglars. A second man was treated for shotgun injuries after he walked into Leicester Royal Infirmary, around ten miles from the cottage. Neither of the men’s injuries were said to be serious. The householder and his wife were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. Four men in their 20s and 30s were also arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
