Police say they are still looking for two other suspects.
Police first received reports of three people shot inside a residence in the area of Post Road and Hyde Park Circle at around 3:40 a.m. Thursday.
Investigators say a family of four were attacked when masked intruders forced their way into the home through the rear door, armed with guns and a hammer.
