DEADLY HIGHLANDS COUNTY HOME INVASION

The sheriff of Highlands County gives an update after he says a man killed a
suspected intruder who deputies say shot the man's wife after 'using a ruse' to
get inside the couple's Avon Park home.

AVON PARK, Fla. - A Highlands County man is being praised by the sheriff’s
office for stabbing an accused home intruder to death with a garden knife after
deputies say the suspect shot the man’s wife.

According to the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, deputies went to a home on
Joe Hilton Street in Avon Park around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday to investigate a
suspicious incident. 





When deputies arrived, they said they found a man and a woman, both 69,
suffering from serious injuries. The man told investigators that another person,
who has since been identified as 62-year-old Lindsey Glen, was dead inside the
home. 

According to Sheriff Paul Blackman, Glenn tricked the victims to get inside the
home. Once he was inside, investigators say he pulled out a gun and shot the
woman in the face.

After seeing his wife get shot, deputies say the male victim grabbed a 7-inch
garden knife and killed Glenn. 

Deputies say Lindsey Glenn was killed by a Highlands County man after shooting
the man's wife during a home invasion Thursday night. Image is courtesy of the
Highlands County Sheriff's Office. 

"Ultimately, the suspect, Lindsey Glenn, was cut to pieces and was very much
deceased by the time deputies could get to him," Blackman stated. 

According to Blackman, Glenn has been convicted of at least 12 different
felonies, which include robbery and burglary, and has been sent to state prison
six times.

"I would like to commend the male victim for his bravery in defending his wife
in their home," Blackman said. "We will pray for his wife that she has a fast
and full recovery."

The man who killed Glenn was treated at an area hospital and released. 

The deadly incident is still under investigation. 

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
