Bakersfield Police are searching for a burglary suspect who may have been shot by the owner of a business he was trying to break into Tuesday morning.

It happened just before 5 a.m. at Dennis Brown Racing Engines in the 3200 block of Chester Lane. Police tell us the suspect was caught in the act by the business owner who reportedly got a call from the alarm company with a report of the power being out.

When the employee gets there he finds the alleged burglar inside the business, gets a gun and beings shooting at the suspect.

At this point, we don't know if the suspect was hit because he fled on foot. Police are still looking for the suspect.
