KILLEEN, TX — Two teens have been arrested for allegedly entering a Killeen home through an open bedroom window and holding three people at gunpoint.
Around 1:43 a.m. on February 23, the Killeen Police Department responded to the 1400 block of Stephen Street in reference to an aggravated robbery.
The initial investigation revealed that two unknown male suspects entered a home through an open bedroom window. There were three people home at the time- a 72-year-old man, a 74-year-old woman and a 16-year-old man.
