One man is dead and another injured after being shot by a Palos Township homeowner when they attempted to enter the home Tuesday night, police said.

"The victim of an attempted home invasion, who had a valid conceal carry license, shot two male intruders fatally killing one and wounding the other," Janet De La Torre, a Cook County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman, said in a statement.

The incident occurred about 11 p.m. in the area of Will-Cook Road and 118th Street in Palos Township. The neighborhood is largely wooded with upscale brick and stone homes.

Four people are in custody, De La Torre said, none of whom are the homeowner. No charges have been filed, she said.
