LYNN — Police are investigating an armed home invasion at a Broadway apartment on Tuesday afternoon.
Police responded to 303 Broadway around 2:30 p.m. on a report of a home invasion involving a gun, and found two male victims, 26 and 27, who had left their apartment, Lynn Police Lt. Dave Brown said.
Brown said the two roommates told officers that they heard a knock at their apartment door, and after opening it, two black men forced their way inside. One of the suspects allegedly had a handgun.

During a struggle for control of the gun, one of the victims was struck in the face with the weapon. He was treated for a nose injury, but declined further medical attention, Brown said.
The suspects had fled before police arrived.
“The circumstances of this incident remain under investigation, but it is unlikely that this was a random act,” Brown said.
