A Milwaukee man fought back against thieves who tried to steal his car. Residents say they could hear shots fired, as the man fended off the thieves.

Milwaukee police department says a 23-year-old man and another person were trying to break into the car when the homeowner fought back approaching the 23-year-old, and shot him. He's being treated at a hospital and is expected to survive.

Police plan to interview the suspects, who are both in custody. The homeowner and his family wouldn't go on camera but neighbors say the area recently had a shooting in broad daylight, and residents have had enough of the crime.
