According to police, the homeowner pulled into his driveway shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday in the Elkins Lake subdivision. Officers say the homeowner noticed the back door had been kicked in. Officers said that's when the homeowner went back to his car and got his handgun. He returned to his house and was confronted by two men. Investigators say the homeowner fired his gun, striking both of them. One of the men died at the house, the other managed to leave.
