A man who lives at a house on East 79th Street came home and saw three men in his home stealing his belongings, Kansas City police said.

He grabbed one of them, who had a gun, and during the struggle, shots were fired.

All three of the men ran away, but one of them was hit.

He got as far as a nearby corner, where he ran into a restaurant and asked for help.

Adrian Gardner, an employee, called 911 and then the shot man passed out on the floor.

Medics and police arrived, and the man was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

Police were still looking for the other two men.
