Man Shot By Ex-Girlfriend Charged With Home Invasion: Cops

DES PLAINES, IL — A man who found shot on the floor of a Des Plaines apartment building on July 4 was charged with home invasion Thursday, police said. Officers responding to a call of shots fired around 9:33 a.m. at an apartment building in the 1200 block of East Washington Street found a man lying on the floor who had been shot multiple times. Police and prosecutors reviewing the case determined the shooting was justified and approved felony charges for the man, who remains hospitalized.

Jonathan Warner, 22, of the 5300 block of West Hirsch Street in Chicago, was booked into the Cook County Jail medical division last Friday after firefighters initially took him to Lutheran General Hospital. Police said he was expected to fully recover from his wounds.

Police said an investigation determined that Warner broke into the apartment of his estranged girlfriend while armed with a handgun.

The woman, who has a valid firearm owner identification card and concealed carry license, shot Warner "several times in self defense as she feared for her life," according to Cmdr. Christopher Mierzwa.

As of Monday Warner was being held without bond ahead of his next court appearance July 27, according to the sheriff's office.
