A 69-year-old man stopped two alleged home invaders when he met their rush into his southwest Atlanta home with shots from his handgun.
One of the alleged home invaders, a 16-year-old, was shot in the chest and arm.
Atlanta police Sgt. Kevin Iosty said a woman knocked on the door of Robert Evans' Ira Street home about 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, asking for beer.
When Evans opened the door, two males rushed in, one armed with a shotgun, Iosty said.
Evans "retrieved his own handgun and shot one of the perpetrators twice, at which point both males and the female took off running, jumped in a black Saturn and fled," Iosty said.
Arriving officers broadcast a description of the Saturn, and other officers spotted the car on the Downtown Connector at Fulton Street.
Police stopped the car and found a 16-year-old male in the back seat with gunshot wounds. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. His condition was not available Wednesday afternoon.
Two women, ages 19 and 38, also were in the Saturn, which had been stolen.
The wounded youth and the women were charged with armed robbery and theft by receiving, Iosty said. Police declined to release the names of those arrested because one of the suspects remained on the run.
No charges have been filed against Evans, Iosty said.

You know, I may be desperate, but I don't think a strange woman knocking on my door asking for a beer will get me to open up.
