SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting.

Just after 9:30p.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to a residence in the 5000 Block of West Newell in Wichita, according to office Charley Davidson.

A 32-year-old woman who lives in the home told police that when she arrived home she discovered someone broke into her house.  She grabbed a shotgun out of her vehicle, walked to the front door and observed a 32-year-old man, an ex-boyfriend inside the residence.  The man exited the home and a physical struggle occurred, according to Davidson.

During the struggle the suspect received one gunshot wound in the abdomen.  He fled the scene. Officers found him and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have not made any arrest, according to Davidson.
