The homeowner wasn't there when the two robbers knocked on the door in New Cassel, then showed guns and forced their way inside Monday morning, according to police.
Two women, a man and three children were inside, and the robbers forced them to a second-story bedroom and demanded cash, police said.
A short time later, the homeowner returned and was confronted by the robbers as he reached the second floor. One of the suspects fired a shot that lodged into the wall, and both suspects ran away with cash and jewelry.
The homeowner went to get a semi-automatic rifle and fired a shot after running out of the home.
No one was hurt.
One of the suspects is described as 6 feet tall (sketch above), and the other was about 5 feet tall and wearing a ski mask.
