NOPD is investigating after a 20-year-old man says he shot two car burglars, one of them a teenager.
An initial police report says the suspects shot first.
According to the report, the vehicle owner says he "observed his vehicle being burglarized, heard gunshot and returned fire."
Both the 16-year-old alleged burglar and a 29-year-old man were hit by bullets and hospitalized.
There was no indication that anyone was immediately arrested.
It happened in the 2700 block of Nashville Avenue just after 9:00pm Friday night.
That's near the Ursuline Academy.
