A man is in life-threatening condition after shots were fired during an attempted break-in Sunday morning in Dayton.

Dayton police responded around 11 a.m. to the 3300 block of West Second Street for a shooting.

“A shot was fired from inside the home and multiple rounds were fired from outside the home,” said Dayton police Maj. Brian Johns. “Multiple firearms were also recovered.”

Officers found one of the suspects, a 23-year-old man, with a gunshot wound and crews transported him to the hospital.

His injuries worsened and as of Monday he was in life-threatening condition, Johns said.

Four other suspects fled from the scene, but they all were taken into custody and transported to the Montgomery County Juvenile Justice Center.

The incident remains under investigation.
