Detectives said a homeowner shot a man that she thought was trying to break into her northwest Albuquerque home.

The shooting happened just before noon at a home on the 9900 block Academy NW.

While the woman was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, investigators said two men forced their way into the house.

Moments later the woman fired her gun hitting one of the men in the head. Detectives identified the man as Frank Castillo, 19. He was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital.

He has previous robbery and aggravated battery charges on his criminal record.
