Deputies said a woman was moving her car into the driveway after her boyfriend left. That's when detectives say two men covered head-to-toe got out of a blacked-out car and approached her from behind.
One of the suspects allegedly had an AR-15 rifle and the other man a pistol. The men then forced the woman into her house, according to deputies.
The woman's roommate was home and heard her screams, deputies said. That's when he came out with a pistol to confront the intruders and allegedly shot one of them in the stomach.
HCSO said both suspects and their getaway driver fled.
