“The home owner’s dog alerted him to the presence of the intruders and when he confronted them they lunged at him with their weapons. He pulled out his firearm and fired several shots. One of the robbers who was shot in the head died instantly and the second man was shot and is seriously injured,” said Mathios.
He added paramedics stabilised the injured man at the scene before transporting him to a nearby hospital.
