Police alleged that four suspects pulled up to the driveway and forced the victim, at gunpoint, into the garage where they demanded money and struck the victim in the head with a firearm.

It’s also alleged the three other three suspects entered the home and confronted the family making similar demands for money. As the victim attempted to flee the garage, police alleged that one suspect fired a shot in his direction which fortunately missed.

It’s further alleged the suspects then fled the area in a stolen vehicle and the victim and his father who was struck by a suspect with a hammer were both treated for minor injuries.
