Charlotte, NC -- Police say no charges are pending against a homeowner who shot an intruder.

Police say Woody Williams shot a man in the leg after he kicked down the back doors in Williams' home on Sunday in the Hidden Valley Neighborhood.

He lives on Austin Drive in northwest Charlotte.

We first told you about Williams last February.

He turned his home into a fortress with security cameras and floodlights, after a surge of break-ins in his community.

The suspect was taken to the hospital and had wounds which were serious, but no life-threatening.

Jeff Hopkins lives across the street and is long time friend of Williams.

"If everybody was like woody was we wouldn't have this problem," said Hopkins.

Williams was too shaken to talk Sunday night, but Hopkins said Williams is just trying to protect the neighborhood.

"Some people might call him a little bit kooky but we'd all love to have a kooky neighbor like that," said Hopkins, "I mean when I leave, I know my house is well protected."

A woman who lives nearby said Williams has the right to protect himself.

"I'm sorry for whoever broke in but when you do something like that..what do you expect?" the woman said.
