A man is recovering from a gunshot wound after being shot by an unknown intruder in Inverness Friday night.

At approximately 10:15 p.m. Friday, Inverness Police, assisted by the Palatine Police Department, responded to a call of a man shot in the 100 block of Crichton Lane, according to a press release from the Inverness Police Department.
