MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. -- A would-be burglar of a gun business was injured by a gunshot early this morning after the owner of the business discovered him and another man inside the store, sheriff's officials told WKMG partner, Florida Today.

Florida Today reported that Brevard County Sheriff's deputies responded at 4:18 a.m. to the Mailorder Gun Connection at 3420 N. Courtenay Blvd.

Officials said John Wolfram responded to his store after an alarm went off and found two men inside. When one of them appeared to have a gun, the owner fired a shot from his own gun, grazing the burglar's arm.

Joseph Campbell, 18, of Merritt Island and Aaron Huck, 20, of Indian Harbour Beach were arrested. Campbell was being treated at Wuesthoff Medical Center in Rockledge for injuries that were not serious, officials said.

Both have been charged with armed burglary, grand theft of firearms, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and possession of burglary tools.

Sheriff's officials defended Wolfram's actions.

"A citizen has the right to defend his/her property. If the citizen has a reasonable fear that they are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm then they are justified in using whatever force, to include deadly force, to protect their life," said Brevard Sheriff Phil Williams.

Wolfram has the shop alarm set up to go off at his home if someone enters his shop after hours. When he arrived, Wolfram noticed the air conditioning unit pulled out of the wall.
