"How are you supposed to tell the difference these days"

A family was tied up in their own home when someone broke in overnight. One person ended up shot.

It happened at a home on North Wayside near Way around 1:30am. Investigators tell us four to six masked suspects claiming to be ATF officers barged into the home and held up the family inside. Authorities say when the homeowner's 28-year-old grandson opened the door, the suspects shot him in the face.

"I heard something go 'boom, boom,'" said one neighbor. "It was two to three shots."

According to police, the suspects, only described as having Spanish accents, forced the wounded man upstairs with his grandmother and uncle and tied the entire family up.

"It's kind of scary," said the neighbor.
