Genesee County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Terence Green said Monday the homeowners reported three suspects broke into the Fenton Township home. Green said at least six shots were fired from two different guns from both inside and outside the home. Homeowner Randy Johnson said his son Robert Johnson, 23, was shot during the incident.

Green said there some inconsistencies in the story and that it’s possible the suspects were shot.

Randy Johnson said his son posted a picture of $5,000 in a box on Facebook and when the men entered the home, they asked him where the money was. Randy said the men ripped down the back gate and came in through the back door of the home, before ransacking the house and taking the $5,000.
