A man was shot Saturday morning after allegedly breaking into a Mount Dora, Florida, home in an attempt to find his estranged wife.
The Daily Commercial reported that the alleged break-in occurred just before 8:50 a.m.
David Michael Lutz allegedly “approached the residence and began knocking and banging on the front door and windows.” Thereafter he allegedly made entrance through “an unlocked door,” then “reportedly kicked in a bedroom door” and was shot by the homeowner.
WESH quoted Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s Stephanie Earley saying, “He forcefully entered, causing damage to a door, which is where he got shot two times.”
The homeowner told police he shot Lutz with a handgun, and officers recovered .45 caliber shell casings.
Medical personnel arrived on scene to find Lutz “conscious and breathing” and they transported him for medical care. He will be jailed once he is released from the hospital.
The Daily Commercial noted that Lutz and his wife are going through a divorce.
