Warren Township police are investigating a violent home invasion.  It happened sometime after midnight on Spruce Trail.

Police say a man, woman and two children were inside their home at the time.

Apparently, shortly after a friend stopped to visit, two men, wearing bandannas and hoodies, stormed into the home.  The male homeowner then got into a fight with the suspects, and police say at least one shot was fired.

The homeowner is hospitalized Thursday morning after being beaten with a gun.

Officers are unsure if the incident was an intended robbery, but more information will be forthcoming.
