CHICOPEE — The victim of a Saturday afternoon shooting at Boucher Circle was a 15-year-old, alleged "intruder," who was shot by a homeowner, according to Officer Michael Wilk of the Chicopee Police Department.
Chicopee police responded to reports of a possible breaking and entering at roughly 12:50 p.m., according to Wilk.
Within a short period of time, the homeowner called police to tell them that he had shot the alleged intruder through a door pane in his kitchen, according to Wilk.
When police arrived at the scene, they discovered a 15-year-old male victim who had suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Wilk says that when the male was taken to Baystate Medical Center he was "in serious condition."
Wilk gave no update on the condition of the victim, who was last said to be in "critical condition" during an earlier update.
Wilk also confirmed that the homeowner is currently being charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and with serious injury.
Detectives are still investigating the incident.

Did the kitchen screen door directly lead outside the house?
Is so, the home owner is in for some trouble.
The dad was protecting his home and his young daughters when this intruder breaks in to do who knows what.
The dad gets arrested of course - Massachusetts.
