The gunmen opened fire just as three men were coming through the front door of the home, Pace said. The victims then turned and reentered the house.
Investigators found at least 15 spent shell casings at the scene, Pace explained. Many of the bullets struck the house and nearby parked cars.
Pace told NBC10 that the glass front door to the house was shattered after being hit in the gunfire.
