DALLAS, Texas (AP) — A 22-year-old man running from police chose the wrong house to hide in early this morning.

Christopher Lessner broke into the home of a 66-year-old Arlington grandmother and hid in a closet. But the woman found him — and shot him in the leg.

Arlington police say Lessner is being treated at Harris Hospital in Fort Worth for non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident began when police tried to stop a stolen pickup for speeding. The driver jumped from the truck, scaled a fence and ran into a wooded area.

Police were tracking him with dogs and a helicopter when they heard a gunshot.

That shot came from the grandmother's gun. She told police she had gotten up to let out her dog and brought a gun to protect her pet from coyotes.

She noticed signs of entry and tracked Lessner to the closet. When he tried to take her gun, she shot him.

Charges against Lessner are pending. The woman's name hasn't been released.

TRL? Did you move to Arlington?
