Police are investigating after a home invasion robbery at a Madison County home early Friday morning.

The incident happened at about 3 a.m. at a home on Barnes Mill Road in Richmond. The couple living in the home heard a crash in the house, and then were confronted by a man with a gun who demanded money. The couple then somehow distracted the suspect, and escaped through a window.

A guest staying in the home, Akil Abdullah, heard the commotion, came out of a room of the home and was confronted by the suspect, who again demanded money. said he didn't have any, and was shot in the knee by the suspect, who then fled.

Abdullah was located an hour later at Country Hearth Inn. So far, it is unclear as to why he went there after being shot.

Police say the suspect was a black man with bandanna over his face.
