A home invasion in Fairbanks escalated into gunfire on Thanksgiving Day, leading to two men being shot, and two men being arrested.

The incident began around 10 a.m. on Nov. 22, according to the Fairbanks Police Department, when officers responded along with the Alaska State Troopers to a reported home invasion.

There, at the Southern Avenue in the Aurora Subdivision, officers found two men with gunshot wounds, and one man on the run.

According to FPD, witnesses said, "two males with guns, dressed in black, forced open the front door and shot their roommate."

Those men, identified as William Vent, 23, and Michael Beard, 38, reportedly entered the home and shot the roommate. That victim, however, was allegedly able to produce a gun of his own and fire back, wounding Beard.

The roommate and Beard remained at the apartment, bleeding from gunshot wounds described as "serious injuries." Vent, on the other hand, took off running.

He didn't get far, however, with AST apprehending him at the corner of College and Aurora in Fairbanks. He was taken to Fairbanks Correctional Center on charges of assault, burglary, robbery, and misconduct with a weapon.

FPD said that similar charges are expected for Beard as well, who was being treated at the hospital for his gunshot wound.
