A shotgun has been fired in a Zorra Township, Ont., home invasion Monday, and the suspects remain at large, according to police.
Just after midnight, Ontario Provincial Police said they were called to a home on 29th Line. They said two people went into the home, and one of them had a shotgun.
The home was allegedly broken into, and the homeowner confronted the suspects.
During the incident, an altercation took place between the homeowner and suspects, leading to the shotgun being fired. One of the suspects was hit and has suffered unknown injuries.
Both suspects then drove from the scene and have not been arrested.
The homeowner sustained minor injuries in the incident.
The first suspect is described as a man, around six feet tall, with a large stomach, wearing a black bandana.
The second suspect is described as a man wearing a black balaclava.
