FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A domestic violence incident left a man recovering in the hospital after he was shot while allegedly breaking into a home.

He has just been identified by authorities as 57-year-old Daniel Molano.

Fresno police responded to this call shortly before 2 pm Sunday near Shaw and Polk Avenues.

They say a couple was in a fight in a car.

The suspect then led police on a chase that ended in a crash at Island Water Park Drive and Shaw Avenue.

Officers say the driver tried to escape by running into a nearby home, where the resident shot him.

Despite being hit in the upper body, the suspect then ran into another home before he surrendered to police.
