After an investigation, the person found dead turned out to be one of two suspected home invaders, according to police.

A second man, the homeowner, was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the chest, Local 6 News reported. His condition was not known early Monday.

Detectives said it was not clear if the men shot each other, Local 6 News reported.

Earlier Saturday night, two armed men broke through the front door of a Eustis house on Hazzard Avenue in an apparent robbery attempt, Eustis police Lt. Danny Provencher said.

One of the four people inside tried to fight the intruders and was shot in the chest. The man, who police would not identify, was flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center and was listed in critical condition, he said.

Police said one of the attackers -- Mario Reeves, 27, of Winter Garden -- also was shot. Reeves was found dead about 40 yards from the house, but it was unclear who shot him, Provencher said.
