One suspect carried a long-barrelled gun, which was discharged inside the home. The other brandished a handgun.

The second suspect is described as Caucasian with tanned skin and dark hair and dark eyes. He is clean shaven and between 1.8 metres and 1.83 metres tall (5-foot-11 to six-feet) and weighs 82 kg (180 pounds).
