JSO: Armed home invasion robbery ends with suspect in the hospital

Jacksonville, FL — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating after a home invasion robbery ended with the suspect in the hospital.

Police say a man told them, he was heading to a friend's house on Tiki Lane, north of Oceanway, when he could see an unknown man already inside, armed with a rifle.

He told police the armed man called for him to come inside, but he took off running instead and called 911. As he was running, he says he heard at least one gunshot.

When police arrived, a person inside the home told officers he had been struggling with the suspect.

JSO didn't release any details about the struggle, but they tell us the suspect was initially transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The victim was said to have sustained scrapes and bruises.

At this time, the suspect has not been identified by police.
