A man was killed, and another is fighting for his life after a shooting inside an Orange County home, deputies said.
Authorities received a 911 call about the shooting at about 9 p.m. Thursday.
Deputies said they found a 53-year-old man shot to death Thursday night in the doorway of a home on Vonderay Road.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — TRENDING NOW:

The 47-year-old homeowner suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, authorities said.
Deputies said the homeowner and the other man, who also lived in the home, got into a fight. The homeowner fired his gun, hitting the other man, deputies said.
The brother of the homeowner told Channel 9 that the man was just trying to defend himself and didn't mean to kill the other man. 
Neighbor Ira Bowling said he never used to hear about violence in the area, but he feels like that's changing. 
"I'm starting to re-evaluate where I'm living now," said Bowling. "That's kind of crazy, you know. I've been here for 22 years and that's insane."
The incident marks the third deadly shooting within a one mile radius this month. 
The names of those involved have not been released.
