A man was taken to the hospital for a potentially life-threatening injury after being shot during a home invasion robbery near SFCC

On April 14, 2021, around 4:00 p.m., a home invasion robbery and the shooting of a person occurred around the 2800 block of west Elliott Drive. Witnesses reported a man was shot on the stairwell outside an upper floor apartment. One caller stated the suspects had stolen money and phones from the residence.
