After the shooting, the homeowner called 911 and police arrived to find the two suspects in the woods nearby.

Police will be interviewing the two suspects, both of whom have admitted they were trying to rob the home. The homeowner, who is recovering at an area hospital from the stress over the situation, will also be interviewed by police.

“My job as sheriff is to gather the evidence in the case and leave no stone overturned and provide that evidence to the prosecuting attorneys office and courts to make that decision. My goal is to have a thorough investigation here,” says Kenny Marks the Menominee County Sheriff.
