Cheswold Police are investigating a home invasion attempt that ended with shots being fired at two burglary suspects.

Officers were called to the home on Barnsley Court, Parkers Run, at 2:59 a.m. May 30, said Chief of Police Christopher Workman.

A witness, the son of the homeowner, told police he heard a noise on the first floor and went to investigate. Upon opening the door to his bedroom, which is located at the top of the stairs, the son saw two men standing at the bottom of the steps. The son fired shots at the burglars, who fled.

The suspects only were described as two black men, dressed in black clothing. The police investigation indicated they had entered the home through a rear window.

Cheswold Police are working with the Delaware State Police evidence unit to gather more information, Workman said.

Anyone with information on this break-in is asked to contact Cheswold Police at 734-2202.
