A home invasion early Friday morning has left one suspect dead after he was shot by the homeowner.

The unidentified male is believed to have been shot by the female homeowner during a home invasion, according to Lt. Denise Barnes of the Montgomery Police Department.

Police responded at 3:45 a.m. Friday to a call that someone had been shot in the 1700 block of Gibson Street. A male was found with life-threatening injuries at the scene and was transported to a local hospital, according to Barnes..

He died several hours later.

"MPD's initial investigation indicates the homeowner fatally wounded an unknown male intruder who broke into her home at about 3:45 a.m.," Barnes said.

Police continue to search for other suspects involved in the home break-in.

The break-in and shooting comes on the heels of an earlier, and unrelated, shooting Thursday night.

Police responded to the 700 block of Alexander Street on a call that someone had been shot. At the scene, officers found a person suffering from non-life threatening injuries.
