A suspect in an attempted armed home invasion robbery was shot by a renter at a Fort Lauderdale Airbnb Thursday night, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 6 p.m. at a home in the 800 block of Northwest 19th Avenue.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale Police said a man went to the Airbnb armed with a gun and entered while trying to commit a robbery.<\/p>\n
Once inside, an altercation unfolded between the suspect and the renter, who opened fire on the suspect.<\/p>\n
The suspect was shot and fled the home on foot but officers found him nearby suffering from gunshot wounds to his upper torso, police said.<\/p>\n
He was taken to a local hospital where he was in critical but stable condition after undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n
The suspect, 18-year-old Dareon Pubien, is expected to face charges of attempted murder and home invasion with a firearm, police said.<\/p>\n
A second suspect believed to be an accomplice, 25-year-old Sean Thompson, was arrested and faces the same charges, police said.<\/p>\n
Detectives are still looking into the shooting but investigating it as an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n
No other details were immediately known.<\/p>\n
