Little Rock Police are investigating the shooting of a man inside an apartment during a robbery.
It happened Tuesday night around 9:30 on Dreher Lane, just off Geyer Springs Road.
That's where several people told police they were relaxing after work when two men knocked on the open front door and asked to use the telephone. Seconds later, one of them pulled out a handgun, ordered everyone to the floor and took their money.
Rafael Azorio, 22, who lived in the apartment, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, while his roommate, Carlos Carrillo, 28, told police he was hit in the head with the suspect's handgun. Their conditions are unknown.
Witnesses told police they heard the gunfire and then saw the suspects running to a blue four-door and then sped off.
