Little Rock - Two people are in custody following a west Little Rock home intrusion during which one suspect was shot.

The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Thursday at 31 Marcella Drive.

Authorities say a resident inside the home exchanged gunfire with one of the intruders, shooting him in the hip before the trio fled. As police officers were en route to the scene, they noticed a suspicious vehicle, and a chase began.

The driver of the vehicle eventually stopped in the 18000-block of Denny Road, and fled into the woods. Officers soon arrested 18-year-old Ashten Keaton and 18-year-old Leshawn Davis, who were passengers in the car.

Keaton suffered a gunshot wound to his left hip, and was transported to a local hospital. Davis was taken into custody and charged with attempted capital murder, obstruction of justice, and numerous robbery charges. Charges are still pending against Keaton.

2. Too bad the home owner didnt get a fatal shot on both of them.

This would have gotten two bad guys off the street and saved the taxpayers alot of money.

Gun owner saves the day again.

6. A victim no more

When I was 16 a mugger appoached me on 43nd Street, NYC. I didn't have a gun but the 7 foot python under my coat sleeve scared the sht out of him. I ended up with his switchblade when he dropped it and ran like hell.

7. Shot in the "hip?" Is that really the "ass?"
