In Virginia, a New Zealand man has left hospital and is now in custody after being shot while trying to break into a home in Goochland just outside the city of Richmond. Troy Skinner was shot by the mother of a 14-year-old girl who had earlier ended an on-line relationship with him. Goochland Sheriff Jim Agnew says the 25-year-old threw a brick through a back door of the teenager's home and was trying to get into the house when he was shot twice. Skinner had a knife, duct tape and pepper spray with him. Susie Ferguson discusses the case with NBC's Allison Norlian.
