The renter fired back at the suspects before he died and they were both hurt. The two then got into a car with one or two other people and took off. The two injured suspects were dropped off at a BP gas station in Paddock Lake where the cashier called 911.
Sheriff's deputies later arrested Wilson and Hudson. Deputies are still looking for the other people in the black four-door car. Officials say they believe drugs played a role in the shootings and it's a big problem in the county.
"Drugs don't know any boundaries. We know that between Chicago and Milwaukee, it's a thoroughfare for drugs. it's probably one of the biggest thoroughfares and I'm sure hundreds of millions of dollars of drugs travel up and down our interstates and our roads through Kenosha County between the two so, it's something we've always taken seriously," Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said.
In total, four people were in the home Thursday night. Sheriff's Officials are trying to get in touch with another woman inside the house to get information. They say she is not considered a suspect.
