SAN ANTONIO – A 16-year-old was arrested and three other people were detained after a homeowner caught a teen burglarizing his car and was shot at early Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred around 6 a.m. in the 100 block of Lorraine Avenue, not far from East Hafer Avenue and South Flores Street on the city's South Side.
