According to police, three men and one woman had been watching TV when someone knocked on the door. When they opened it, no one was there. Two more times, someone knocked, but no one was there when they answered. The third and final time it happened, when the woman stepped outside to look around, a man put a gun to her head and pushed her back toward the residence. The woman ran inside and closed the door. The suspect tried to kick his way in, breaking the door-frame, and he fired one shot through the door. One of the victims had an air rifle and fired back.

Police say the suspect then fled on foot. The suspect was described as a black man, wearing dark clothes and a ski mask.

No one was injured. The investigation is ongoing.
