A man who was found injured outside of his Tomball home appeared to have been hurt while trying to rig his home with burglar-deterring booby traps.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office gave the update late Tuesday afternoon after deputies and a SWAT unit surrounded the home in the 26100 block of La Fouche Drive in the northwest part of the county.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a deputy was called to the neighborhood for a reported shot fired at 1:38 p.m. The deputy found the 73-year-old man outside with a superficial gunshot to the right side of his body. The wounded man told the deputy "there's danger in the home."
