SAN ANTONIO -- A homeowner opened fire on three individuals who attempted to break into his home Sunday morning, police said.

One of the individuals was injured in the chest by the gunfire, police said.

The other two people escaped and are still at large, police said.

The injured suspect was taken to a hospital.

Police said a surveillance camera mounted on the homeowner's garage door recorded the incident. Police said they were able to get a good description of their van.

Police said they're looking for a Ford minivan -- light-colored on top and two-toned on the bottom.

The minivan has a dent on the right side between the door and the gas tank, police said. Police ask anyone to contact them if they have information.

"Presently, we have officers all over the city looking for two individuals that were with the individual that got shot (while) burglarizing the house," Sgt. David Scepanski, a San Antonio police officer, said.

Javier Bocanegra, a neighbor, said several of the homes in the near Northwest Side neighborhood have been broken into.

Bocanegra worries that the escalating crime in the area could soon become unbearable.

"It's scary," Bocanegra said. "Luckily (the homeowner) had a gun and was able to scare him off. But yeah, it's scary."
