Deputies responded around 8:30 p.m. to the home along Deer Run Road, where the homeowner’s son was holding the alleged burglar — Mitchell Platt, 37 — at gunpoint after shooting him in the leg.
The homeowner’s son had noticed a rear door was left open and armed himself with a revolver after then entering the home and reportedly hearing strange noises, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
After the man called out to see if anyone else was in the home, Platt allegedly emerged from a hallway and charged toward him, prompting the man to fire a single shot into Platt’s leg, the release states.
