Police said a 41-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, both from Newport, broke into a home in the 4500 block of Huron in Frenchtown Township just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The homeowner then shot the younger man with a crossbow, sending both men running from the home, according to the sheriff's office.

Officers found the 32-year-old man nearby suffering from a crossbow wound and took him to a nearby hospital where he was being treated for his injuries, according to the sheriff's office.
