Brevard County sheriff’s deputies are investigating a home invasion involving a shooting that left two intruders dead at a residence north of Titusville in Mims.

Deputies reported the resident shot and killed both intruders.

The shooting happened about 1 p.m. along West Court, which sits west of U.S. 1. A man and a woman were at the home at the time, the Sheriff's Office said. Deputies were called to the area after reports of gunfire and a possible robbery involving masked men.

Deputies arrived at the scene and searched the area. Crime scene tape was used to rope off an area of roadway in the residential neighborhood. Neighbors could also be seen standing outside and watching as blue-gloved deputies searched for evidence in the street near the scene of the shooting.

Sheriff's spokesman Tod Goodyear said one of the men who suffered a gunshot wound ran from the home, but collapsed a short distance away. The man was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.

The identities of each of the accused intruders and the residents of the home were not released Thursday.
