Affidavit: Masked men walked into home and removed storage bin with tools and items

According to the arrest affidavit, surveillance video showed two masked men drive onto the construction site and walk into the home, which was actively being worked on. The men took a storage box with miscellaneous construction tools and items and walked back to the video.

The report did not describe the tools that were taken.

One of the workers alerted the others as soon as he saw the masked men show up, the report said. As the suspects were walking back to the vehicle, they were confronted by the workers, who began to take photos of the suspect vehicle.

Authorities said the men put the vehicle in reserve and began shooting at the workers, hitting two of them.
