Crime Line is offering a cash reward for information that will help investigators find the two men responsible for attempting to force their way into a family's home at gunpoint and assaulting three people.
On Tuesday, Jan. 9, around 9:30 p.m., a woman went to answer a knock at the front door of her home in the 3500 block of Craig St. When she opened the door, two men with handguns tried to force their way into the house. As she began screaming and struggling with them, her husband entered the room and began struggling with them, too. The attackers began beating the couple about the head and face with their weapons. The victims' daughter entered the room and struck one of the suspects with a board. She was also struck with a weapon as the men fled.
