When the man took the package and tried closing the door, he said the suspect forced his way inside and pulled out a gun.
The homeowner yelled for his wife to call 911 and told her they were being robbed.
That’s when a second suspect, also wearing an Amazon-style delivery vest, came into the home and ran toward the man’s wife.
The husband says he was pistol-whipped in the face and head several times. His wife says that the second suspect grabbed her by the neck, threw her on the ground and put a pillow over her head.
