Lexington man injured by intruders, police say

A Lexington man was taken to the hospital Tuesday after two men attacked him at his home at 3965 Ridgepoint Run.

David Michael Norris, 72, had a head injury, but it wasn't clear whether it's a gunshot wound, Lexington police spokesman Lt. Ron Compton said.

The two men forced their way into Norris' home shortly after 9 a.m., apparently by posing as utility workers, Compton said.

Compton said police did not know where the intruders went.

Norris was treated at the University of Kentucky Hospital and released.
