"The victims were awake when they heard loud banging," police said. "When a family member went to the back door, they observed shattered glass in the interior floor of the home."
The homeowner, who asked not to be identified, told FOX10 Phoenix that the shattering glass "sounded like an explosion."

The two suspects then fled the home on foot through its backyard in an unknown direction, according to police. They were described as males in their early 20s, wearing dark clothes with black ski masks.
