PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police said a 27-year-old man wounded during a home invasion has been charged with robbery, burglary and other crimes -- and rape stemming from an unrelated incident in April.

That man, Christopher Thomas, remained in UPMC Mercy hospital on Wednesday.

Police continue to investigate the incident about 2:20 a.m. Tuesday. That's when police said Thomas and another Pittsburgh man, 31-year-old David Calhoun, fired a shot through an apartment door and forced their way into a unit where a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old female lived.

Police have yet to identify the resident gunman or say whether he'll be charged, too.

Investigators said the 19-year-old grabbed a shotgun and killed Calhoun while wounding Thomas.

Thomas, the wounded suspect, has also been charged with illegally carrying a firearm, aggravated assault and conspiracy.
