Authorities have shared the emergency calls following a fatal home invasion where a person and a dog lost their lives.
The distressing emergency call was placed Wednesday evening by an individual from a residence on Beverly Avenue in Port Charlotte, near Olean Boulevard.
Officers discovered a man on Felton Avenue lying on the street.
The female caller was terrified and eager to end the call.
โYeah, they just did shots outside; I donโt know if anybodyโs hurt,โ the caller said.
โOK,โ the dispatcher said.
โIโm hanging up now, โcause if they come back in, I donโt want them to see me on the phone. Iโm just gonna throw the phone in the corner.โ
โWhere, where are they now? Are they walking outside? In a car?โ
โI donโt know. I got down on the ground.โ
According to Charlotte County officers, four individuals were unsuccessful in the home invasion.
In an unexpected turn of events, a neighbor got entangled in the disordered situation for unknown reasons, and now faces an aggravated battery charge due to his actions post-incident when he pursued the group.
When the dust settled, a 33-year-old male suspect was dead, and two dogs had been shot, one of which succumbed to its injuries.
โIs anybody injured?โ the dispatcher said.
โI donโt know, thereโs people outside,โ the caller said.
โNo, no, no, just in your family who youโre with?โ
โThree of my family are outside.โ
โOK.โ
โAll the girls are in here.โ
โOK.โ
โAnd the dog is shot. Yeah, heโs bleeding at the mouth.โ
Another suspect was admitted to the hospital in a critical state.
Two minors were taken into custody.
Charlotte County officers have withheld details about the specific roles each individual had during the attempted home invasion and have yet to disclose a motive.
