2 intruders killed in morning home invasion

Gunfire erupted this morning inside a northeast Harris County home. By the time it was over, two men were dead and a third was being sought by sheriff's deputies.
The shooting occurred about 5 a.m. at the house in the 4200 block of Glenchase Lane.
Precinct 4 deputy constables went to the scene after the homeowner called to report a break-in at the residence.
When they arrived, the constables found one man dead and another shot, but still alive. He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he later died from his injuries, officials said.
Harris County Sheriff's detectives were called to the scene to investigate.
The homeowner, who has not been identified, told investigators he and his brother-in-law were asleep upstairs when the front door was kicked in.
Three men entered and ran upstairs armed with shotguns. They exchanged gunfire with the homeowner after forcing open the bedroom doors. Two of the intruders were shot during the gunfight, officials said. A third intruder who fled may be wounded.
Detectives said the third man he could be driving a blue or green Cadillac Escalade with a California license plate 4ABU25.
The shooting is being referred to the Harris County Grand Jury without any recommendation for charges.
The motive behind the home invasion was still unknown later today.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
