UPDATE2: Police Investigate Home Invasion Shooting in Tuckahoe

Southampton Town police have confirmed that one man was shot in the abdomen during a home invasion robbery inside a house on North Magee Street in Tuckahoe on Monday morning. No arrests have been made yet.

At about 9:30 a.m., two black males wearing bandanas over their faces, one holding a semi-automatic pistol, attempted to enter the house at 432 North Magee St through the front door, according to police. Police said a 21-year-old resident of the house tried to keep them out, but he was shot twice in the abdomen. A second resident, a 28-year-old male, went to assist but was struck with the gun, Lieutenant Robert Pearce said.

The masked men then went through several rooms in the house and left in an unknown direction, police said, adding that detectives are investigating what, if anything, was taken from the house.

Chatter on the police frequency referred to the 28-year-old victim's injuries as the result of pistol whipping, though Pearce said he would not call it that. A Police press release said he suffered lacerations and contusions to his face and head.

The victim of the gun shot wound drove himself to , Pearce said. The second victim was driven to the hospital by another resident of the house. Pearce called both men residents of the house, though Southampton Village police had said the gun shot victim has a residence in their jurisdiction.

Neither victims' identity was released and police said that due to HIPPA privacy regulations there will be no further characterizations of the injuries or condition of the victims.

The house is located next to Padgett Temple Church of God in Christ, near Ford's Lane.

Pearce would not comment on the suspect or suspects. "The investigation is ongoing," he said.

Meanwhile, uniformed officers and detectives blocked off the house as a crime scene. Small yellow cards with numbers on them marked possible evidence leading up to the house, a small two-story house, behind a small hedge. Suffolk County Police Crime Scene arrived at about 1:30 p.m.

Southampton Town Animal Control officers removed two dogs that appeared to be pitbulls from the house around 10:30 a.m. Pearce said the dogs were removed as a precaution. One was a dark gray puppy, which an animal control officer carried out. A black and white adult dog was led out and fussed a bit before the officer could get it into the van.

A New York State Police K-9 officer responded to the scene in case he was needed, but Pearce said the search dog was not going to be used.

Southampton Village Police Chief William Wilson said the hospital called village police when the victim arrived there with a gun shot wound. Village police officers responded and ascertained that the shooting took place outside of the village police department's jurisdiction, he said. The village officers waited at the hospital until Southampton Town police arrived to continue the investigation, he said.

Village police initially planned to set up a crime scene at the victim's village residence, but that was abandoned when they realized the incident was in the town police's jurisdiction, Wilson said.

A village police officer was stationed outside of a house on Powell Avenue, but Pearce said the house had no relation to the crime scene.
