A 33-year-old East Palo Alto man was shot in the leg Thursday morning during a home-invasion robbery, police said.

Officers responded to the 500 block of Sacramento Street at about 4:40 a.m. when a ShotSpotter activation suggested gunshots were fired in front of a residence, police said.

Police learned two men with guns had entered the victim’s home, and a confrontation ensued.

The suspects shot the victim in the leg and escaped with stolen property, police said.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Detective Lualemaga at (650) 798-5952 or the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (650) 853-8477.
