The man was shot after the two armed men did not find money in the house, police told 6ABC.
The men took the two women and a pair of pants that belonged to the second man in the home before fleeing the scene. The suspects then tried to break into another home on the 1700 block of Diamond St., police said.
The two men fired a shot at the man who answered the door. He was able to get away and alert police officers of the situation. During this time, the two women were able to free themselves.
Police arrested the two suspects, aged 28 and 31, in an alley. Police were able to recover the ski mask and clothes used in the robbery around the 1600 block of N. 16th St. The names of the suspects have not been released.
