Homeowner Shoots, Kills Home Invader
One man is dead in the Hunters Creek area of Orange County after he was shot by a homeowner during a home invasion.
Deputies are searching for two other home invasion suspects.
According to authorities, three men fired shots as they broke into a home on Muscatello Street and Crayford Avenue Wednesday around 11 p.m.
News 13 was told that the men attempted to rob the six people inside. Deputies said those people scattered throughout the house.
Authorities said one of the victims got into a bedroom and picked up a rifle and when one of the intruders tried to enter the bedroom, the man inside shot through a closet door, hitting the intruder in the chest, killing him.
"It just blows my mind to think this goes on in Orlando. This stuff's happening everywhere today. But the way the world is, you just really got to be on the defense it seems like nowadays," said Bob Whalen, a neighbor.
One of the other robbers was reportedly stabbed by one of the people inside the house.
