The homeowner then fired a gun several times, wounding the man. It appears the two did not know each other, police said. The wounded man ran from the scene and was found at a Loudoun County hospital, a Fairfax County police spokesman said. He was later airlifted to Reston Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities, who are still piecing together details, did not say if the wounded man was armed. The scene of the incident is in a neighborhood of larger homes. The scene is contained, police said, and there is no danger to the public.
