A man was shot as he tried to burglarize an apartment in the southeast Las Vegas Valley early Wednesday morning.
A resident at The Villas at Green Valley Apartments, 2362 N. Green Valley Parkway, near Warm Springs Road, called 911 about 2:45 a.m. to report an intruder in his home. The resident informed police that he shot the intruder, Henderson police spokeswoman Michelle French said.
