A man suspected of a home invasion in suburban St. Louis has been fatally shot during a fight with the homeowner and his son.

Police said they were called to the 100 block of South Winds Drive shortly before 4 a.m. Monday following an apparent home invasion.

Police are investigating a triple shooting Monday morning in St. Charles County.

The dead suspect hasn’t been identified.

Police say the Drug Tasks Force is involved in the investigation because drug paraphernalia was found inside the home.

The suspect, armed with two handguns, had entered the home and confronted a man and woman about narcotics, Joyner said.

Police aren’t sure how the suspect got inside.

The altercation between Donovan and the suspect moved to the back yard where another of Donovan’s sons joined in the fight.

All were transported to a local hospital for treatment, where the suspect died upon arrival. “It’s very peaceful. You know, when something bad happens, it’s pretty — we’re all pretty much shooken up over this”, neighbor Scott Bockelkamp said.
