PORT JEFFERSON, N.Y., Nov. 17 (UPI) -- A burglary suspect in Port Jefferson, N.Y., was arrested at a hospital emergency room after he accidentally shot himself in the arm.

Investigators said Steven Holmes of Rocky Point on Long Island was one of three intruders who entered a home in Port Jefferson Friday. The three, all wearing masks, took turns standing guard over two men who were in the house at the time while the others looked for items to steal.

The victims heard a shot coming from upstairs, police said. The burglars then left with $350 and jewelry.

Holmes came to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital to be treated for the bullet wound, police said. A staff member reported the shooting to police, and officers who questioned him described him as "uncooperative and evasive."

He was charged with first-degree burglary.
