Police are investigating an incident where a man was shot several times following a break-in at a home on Musgrave Street, Evanston Gardens. Just before 4am, a group of men forced entry to the back door of the home while the occupants were asleep. The occupants, a 53-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman quickly barricaded themselves in the bedroom. The intruders, believed to be at least two men, fired several shots into the bedroom door, two of which hit the male victim. The suspects then ran off and were last seen running through a nearby reserve. There was a young child in another bedroom throughout the incident and neither the child or woman were physically injured. Police and St Johns arrived soon after, and the injured man was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He remains in a stable condition. Police believe the attack was not random and are currently following positive lines of enquiry. Anyone with information that could assist police with the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
