No URL to cite - it wasn't online, but I got it from the library.
Amazingly, the Star Tribune declined to report on this at all.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
Intruder shot during break-in
Three or four masked men with guns broke into a Columbia Heights home Tuesday night but fled after the resident shot one of them, police reported.
Police later arrested two suspects, including one who was wounded.
The men barged into the home in the 600 block of 38th Avenue Northeast just before midnight, police said. It wasn't clear how many people were in the home at the time, but one resident fired a shot that wounded one of the intruders, police said. The other men helped the wounded man into a car.
As the men fled in the car, police arrived at the home and gave chase, which ended at 40th Avenue Northeast and Main Street. At least two of the suspects fled from the vehicle, but police arrested the wounded man still inside the vehicle. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where his condition was not available.
Officers with a search dog later apprehended one of the other men, and he was taken to the Anoka County Jail.
