Port St. Lucie police are investigating a deadly shooting.

Officers were sent to 209 SW Chapman Avenue just before noon.

Police say Paul Winant, 31, was visiting a home owned by James Quaglia, 55, and his live-in girlfriend, 50-year-old Barbara Evans.

At some point there was an argument between the two men and it became violent when Quaglia pulled a handgun, according to police.

Winant ended up being shot in the torso and was taken to a hospital in critical condition where he later died.

Quaglia was also injured and hospitalized but does not have a gunshot wound, according to police.
