The resident fought back against the intruders early Sunday.
A resident who struggled against two intruders at his home in Moorestown on Sunday left one fatally stabbed and the other injured.
Moorestown police said the men forced their way into the home on the 700 block of Hartford Road at 12:23 a.m.
The homeowner used a kitchen knife to stab both men, police said. One intruder was pronounced dead at the house by police responding to a call from the homeowner. The other intruder fled.

The names of the resident and the dead man have not been released. Police said that an autopsy was pending and that the incident remained under investigation.
