SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an alleged home invasion attack at a home in Salina.
Just before 9:30p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a home invasion in the 300 block of North Penn Avenue in Salina, where four victims including a child reported two suspects invaded their home with a large butcher knife and a rifle-like gun, according to Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges
The victims reported they heard a knock at their their back door. After opening the door, a masked suspect pointed a "long gun" at the victims.
Another suspect followed alongside the gun-wielding suspect into the home.
"They came into the house, and one of the victims rushed to the person with a gun. There was a struggle. There was a second suspect there with the individual with a gun — he had a large butcher knife," Tonniges said.
Tonniges said one victim rushed the suspect with a gun and received multiple lacerations on his head and shoulders from the suspect wielding the butcher knife. After wounding the victim, both suspects fled the scene.
The victims were able to identify one of the suspects as somebody they knew. Police are working to identify the second suspect.
