TACOMA, Wash. -- Two people were injured in a home invasion robbery in Tacoma.

Police spokesman Mark Fulghum told The News Tribune of Tacoma several suspects burst into an apartment before 6 a.m. Friday on the second floor of a building in the Hilltop neighborhood.

They pistol-whipped a man they found sleeping, but he was able to fight back, firing a shotgun and wounding one of the intruders. The others fled.

The robbery victim was treated at St. Joseph Medical Center, and the wounded suspect was treated at Tacoma General Hospital.

Fulghum says officers also arrested one of the other suspects.
