An alleged intruder broke into a West Palm Beach, Florida, home just after 4 a.m. Saturday morning and turned on the bedroom light before being shot and fatally wounded by a homeowner.

WPTV reports the alleged intruder was shot “after startling [a] sleeping couple.”

WPBF notes there was a “verbal confrontation” between one of the homeowners and the alleged intruder after the light was turned on, and that the confrontation was followed by a gunshot.

The wounded suspect was taken a hospital and pronounced dead.

The homeowners were not harmed.

850 WFTL pointed out that the sleeping couple did not know the intruder.
