SANILAC COUNTY, MI - Two men were shot to death early Sunday morning by a homeowner after they allegedly broke into a Greenleaf Township residence, police said.
Deputies with the Sanilac County Sheriff's Office responded around 5 a.m. Nov. 19 to the 4300 block of Holbrook Road for a 911 call received by Sanilac Central Dispatch advising police three male subjects had broken into a home and shot the homeowner in the leg.
Gunfire was exchanged between the suspects and the homeowner. One of the suspects was pronounced dead at the home with a gunshot wound, while another suspect fled on foot.
A vehicle was found by police at Holbrook and Germania roads -- less than one mile away from the home -- with one of the suspects, a Flint-area man, found dead inside with a gunshot wound.
The vehicle in which he was discovered was reported stolen in October 2017 from the Flint area.
All suspects have been taken into custody.
Sanilac County Sheriff's deputies were assisted at the scene by the Tuscola County Sheriff's Office, Cass City Police Department, Michigan State Police Caro post, Michigan State Police Crime Lab, Sanilac County K-9, St. Clair County K-9, Sanilac County Detective Bureau and Drug Task Force, Sanilac County Road Commission, and Bingham EMS.
The shooting incident remains under investigation.
