WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — Authorities say two men were killed and another was wounded while breaking into a Florida home. The Tampa Bay Times reports that the break-in occurred early Friday morning in Wesley Chapel. The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office identified the dead men as Luis Casado and Khyle Durham.

Sheriff Chris Nocco says Jeremiah Tramel was taken to a Tampa hospital and faces charges of armed home invasion and felony murder.

The homeowner told deputies that he was playing video games when the intruders entered his house. He grabbed a handgun and opened fire. Officials say Casado and Durham fell to the ground, and an armed neighbor stopped Tramel.
