"I just thought it was strange and called the police because it was strange how they ran in the house and ran out," the witness said. "I didn't see anything in their hands, I didn't see a gun, I just saw them come out."
Police were looking for four suspects, who were wearing dark clothes, gloves and ski masks. They were still at large Friday night.
All four were armed with revolvers and were last seen driving away south on West Street in a white SUV, Stauffer said.
