Two people were injured when three men broke into a home early Monday morning in the Town of Troy. The break in occurred in the living quarters attached to Barley’s Hop & Malt bar/restaurant, N8720 Highway N.
According to a press release form the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, the 911 call of a home invasion came in at about 3 a.m. on Oct. 20. The caller said that three men entered their home and two of the suspects were reportedly armed.
A fight ensued in the residence, which resulted in one of the homeowners sustaining a gunshot wound to the leg. Another resident suffered facial injuries due to the physical fight, the release stated.
The three suspects are only described as a white man, a black man, and a Hispanic man at this time. All three fled the home after the fight in an unknown direction or manner of transportation.
The Troy Center area was searched and the suspects were not located and are believed to have fled the area.
East Troy rescue responded to the scene and transported the victims to a local hospital.
Captain Dana Nigbor of the Sheriff’s Department said the investigation is ongoing and more information would be released when available.
“We’re working on it hard,” Nigbor said. “We’ve been at it all day.”
