LOWER PAXTON TOWNSHIP, DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa -- Police in Dauphin County are investigating a home invasion in which the intruder was shot and killed by the homeowner.

Update: The intruder has now been identified as Servando Santos, 23, of York. Witnesses reported that they saw Santos walk from another home on Fairway lane, where police believe he was involved in a disturbance that left a woman critically injured, to the second home where he was subsequently shot and killed.

Police say Santos forced his way into the home, and was confronted by the homeowner, who warned Santos that he was armed. Santos continued into the home, and the owner fired several shots, one of which hit Santos in the abdomen. He then, according to a release from police, continued further into the home despite being shot, and engaged in a struggle with other people in the home, before being subdued shortly before police arrived on scene.

When police arrived, Santos continued struggling with officers, and was taken into custody. He was then given immediate medical attention and transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injury.

The female believed to be assaulted by Santos at the first residence remains in the hospital in critical condition. Her name is not being released at this time.
