MILLINGTON, Md. - When a burglar broke in to a Kent County, Maryland home, police say he got more than he bargained for.

The incident happened October 14th on the 31-thousand block of River Road in Millington, and according to state troopers, seconds after the suspect forced his way into a home there, the resident, Robert Franklin Powell Jr. fired two shots at the man with his registered .380 caliber handgun. 

Police don't know if the man was injured, and the suspect is still at large.  He's described as having a dark complexion, dark hair, wearing dark clothes and approximately 5'11".
