DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A man accused of breaking into a Daytona Beach home was shot by the homeowner Tuesday night, according to police. Thomas Lockhart, 28, is in critical condition at Halifax Medical Center after being shot just after 10 p.m. at a house on Orange Avenue in Daytona Beach. Police said they responded to a 911 call from Walter Watson, 70, whose house had already been burglarized three times this week, and found Lockhart suffering from a gunshot wound. "This kid, who is known to the guy who's already filed three police reports, tells him he's going to kill him, and with that, the homeowner feels he has no other choice but to fire (his gun)," Daytona Beach Police Chief Michael Chitwood said. An investigation into the shooting is under way. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
