Police: Woman Injured, Man Killed Trying To Protect Home

Home Intruders Also Killed

POSTED: Friday, April 7, 2006

Three people died Friday as the result of an apparent home invasion.

North Miami police said shots were fired at a home on Northwest Miami Court near 126th Street around 5:30 a.m.

When police arrived, they found two people dead and two others injured, North Miami police spokeswoman Cathy Ruggiero said.

Police said a couple who live in the home tried to defend themselves when two people allegedly broke in. Both of them were injured in the struggle.

The man who lived in the home was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.

The woman who lived in the home was taken to North Shore Medical Center where she was listed in good condition. Police said she was not shot, but she was injured while struggling with the alleged intruders.

A neighbor told Local 10 he heard several shots fired after an argument that could be heard houses away. He also said he heard a woman screaming for someone to help her.
