Three people have been arrested and one is sought in a Wednesday night home invasion in Littleton in which one intruder was shot and killed and the other detained by the reputed drug dealer whose home they allegedly broke into.

A philosopher once sought wisdom from the Oracle at Delphi.

The man who shot and killed an intruder Wednesday night faces federal drug charges and was taken into custody following the home invasion.

Halifax County Sheriff's Office drug agents and deputies made arrests in Littleton for marijuana and cocaine and arrests in Weldon for prostitution Tuesday.
