Iowa Self-Defense: Police: Intruder shot twice while breaking into Iowa apartment :: 10/26/2017
SAC CITY | A man allegedly breaking into a Sac City apartment was shot twice by a resident inside Wednesday.
Bendji Joseph, of Fort Dodge, has been charged with burglary and is in stable condition after he was flown to a Sioux City hospital for his gunshot wounds.
The Sac City Police Department responded to a call of shots fired at 211 S. Fifth St. at 4 a.m. Wednesday.
After an investigation, a news release said that Joseph forcibly entered the apartment without permission with the intent to commit a serious or aggravated assault.
Fearing serious bodily injury or death, Miguel Alcantara, one of the apartment’s occupants, fired two shots at Joseph with a 9mm pistol, hitting him twice.
Joseph was transported to Loring Hospital in Sac City for treatment and was later life-flighted to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, where he is believed to be in stable condition.
Joseph has been charged with felony first- and third-degree burglary.
The investigation is ongoing.
