A Lauderhill woman shot an elderly intruder in the stomach, after he broke into her two-story townhouse apartment early Wednesday morning and refused to leave, Lauderhill police said.

One of the woman's three young children first spotted the man inside their home, at 5925 N.W. 23rd Street, around 6:30 a.m..

The child told their mother, who demanded that the man leave. When he refused, she shot him, police said.

Someone inside the home then called 9-1-1, and the man was transported to Broward General Medical Center in stable condition, police said.

It is not clear that anything was stolen from the home, and no charges have yet been filed in connection to the case. Lauderhill detectives are continuing their investigation.
