This morning at approximately 8:11 a.m., Lubbock Police Dept. patrol officers responded to a report of a burglary of a residence just occurred in the 2200 block of 28th Street. The suspect had broken a window and was gaining entry when the victim fired a gun at the suspect.
Enroute to the call, officers learned that the victim was now chasing the suspect on foot. When the first officer arrived on scene, the victim had the suspect detained in the 2200 block of 26th Street.
When the suspect saw the officer, he ran and the officer pursued on foot. The suspect was tackled by a quick thinking citizen who held on until officers arrived.
The suspect was arrested and transported to the Lubbock County Detention Facility and booked in.
The suspect has since been connected to a separate attempted burglary that occurred earlier this morning in the same neighborhood.
