ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A home invasion suspect is recovering from a gunshot wound to the neck.
Jorge Romero, 44, allegedly broke into a house in the 10,000 block of Mountain Road in NE Albuquerque on Thursday.
Police said he was shot in the neck after exchanging gunfire with the homeowner. He's in satisfactory condition at University of New Mexico Hospital.
The homeowner was not hurt.
Witnesses told officers that Romero's friends took him from the scene and then for some reason dropped him off at a store near the intersection of Lomas and Eubank.
Romero faces several charges once he's released from the hospital.
It's unclear if any charges will be brought against the homeowner.
