Deputies Search For Attempted Burglar

{London, Kentucky}...Laurel County Deputies say a man fled the scene after he attempted to break into a home on Joe Hooker Lane in London on Christmas Eve. Deputies say, around 10:00 P.M. Saturday night, Jeffrey Hooker was walking on his brother's property when he noticed a man kicking in the door of his brother's house. Hooker told deputies he attempted to confront the man, but the man ran around the outside of the home, and when Hooker caught up to him, the man pointed a gun at Hooker. That's when police say Hooker fired his gun, possibly shooting the man in the foot before he escaped into the woods.
