A Texas woman shot an armed man who was attempting to "force his way" into her home on Friday, according to local authorities.

The DeSoto Police Department said officers were dispatched to "an active disturbance" in the 400 block of Raintree Circle at around 7:54 p.m. on Friday after a female caller told dispatch an unknown man was in her backyard with a pistol.

During the 911 call, police said the dispatch officer could hear screaming and yelling as the man "attempted to force his way inside the home through the rear garage door."

At the same time, neighbors on the street called 911 to report gunshots in the area.

Once inside the home, police found the man – identified as 35-year-old Octavio Flores Mondragon – on the ground in the garage with a pistol lying next to him. He had been shot twice, once in the chest and once in the face.

He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

The woman told officers she noticed a dark truck following her home after she left a nearby Taco Bell, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth. The truck also followed her into her neighborhood and pulled into the rear driveway behind her car.

The woman ran inside, called 911 and armed herself with a pistol. When Mondragon attempted to enter her home, she shot at him multiple times, striking him twice.

Mongradon is charged with first-degree burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony. Police said a motive has not been determined.
