Home invaders confront family, shoot teen

In what investigators say appears to be a random act, a woman, her daughter and four young children were terrorized late Tuesday by home invaders who confronted them in their driveway, demanded money and shot a 15-year-old boy. The family was returning home in the 4800 block of Carter Street about 9:30 p.m. when four or five men in their 20s, dressed in black and wearing baseball caps and shirts or masks over their faces, forced them into the house, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said. Inside, the teenage boy apparently startled the men, who responded by firing several shots at him, the Sheriff's Office said. He was hit one to three times, investigators said, but his condition was unknown early today. The men ran away afterward.
