A 30-year-old man is recovering in a Dallas hospital after suffering two gunshot wounds early Tuesday in a Paloma Creek home.

Denton County Sheriff’s deputies responded about 12:45 a.m. to the 1100 block of Paloma Creek after receiving a 911 call. According to a sheriff’s report, they saw a man stumbling out of the house covered in blood.

The man told them he lived in the house until a few weeks ago with his girlfriend. He said he knocked on the door and no one answered. He said he remembered the code to open the garage door and used it to enter the house. He went up the stairs, he said, and was met at the master bedroom door by a man he knows who was pointing a gun at him.

He said he ran into a closet and was shot twice, once in the arm and once in the leg.

The woman who owns the house said, according to the report, that the former boyfriend called her earlier with questions about who she had lunch with. She heard pounding on the door, she said, and then saw the former boyfriend enter the house.

She said she began screaming at him to get out of her house. He kept coming up the stairs and pushed her out of the way and entered the bedroom.

The woman said the man walked to the closet where he knew she kept weapons. At that point the woman’s new boyfriend, who was in the bedroom, shot him, she said.

Sheriff’s investigative Sgt. Roger Griggs said no one has been charged with any crime but the investigation is continuing.
