"He had worked his way all the way through the house and into the bathroom. And from what we understand, he was turning the doorknob when she fired through the door." Says Bryan County Under sheriff, Ken Golden.
After the man was shot, The 12- year old ran out of the closet and called for help.

Deputies tell KTEN, the man was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Plano, Texas and he's expected to survive.
