LAFOLLETTE (WATE) -- An attempted home invasion in LaFollette landed a would-be robber in the hospital with a gunshot to the chest.

LaFollette police say the two men who are suspects, Paul Lee Bourff and Robert Wayne Evans, forced their way into a home on Hemlock Street Tuesday evening.

The pair was armed.

The homeowner, Charles Green, grabbed his own gun and shot Bourff.

Both suspects ran to a neighbor's house. Someone there drove Bourff to a nearby hospital. He was then flown to UT Medical Center.

Evans waited at the neighbor's home until police arrived.
