MALDEN, Mass. -- Police are investigating a home invasion that occurred on Ellis Street. The people inside were found tied-up. Sources tell 7-news that police are looking for two people, one of whom is believed to be carrying a b-b gun. The suspects reportedly fled through the back door of the house and are now on the loose.

Jean-Marie Lamour says he was tapping at his computer late Sunday night when someone knocked on the bedroom door of the cramped apartment he shares with two other men in Malden. When he opened it, two masked men pushed him onto his bed, pointed a gun at him, and shouted in Haitian Creole "Shut up!" I was scared for my life," said Lamour, a 41-year-old taxi driver, in an interview yesterday in the room he rents for $500 a month on Ellis Street. "I thought they would kill me." He said he fought back and managed to catch a glimpse of one of his attackers, whom he said he recognized. He said he gave police the name of the man. Lieutenant Tom Swanson of the Malden Police Department said detectives are investigating the home invasion, but he declined to name any suspects. Lamour said the men pushed him to the ground and bound his head and hands in duct tape about 11 p.m. Sunday. Then, rather than taking any of the expensive computer equipment and other electronics in his bedroom, they reached in his front pocket and took the cash from his wallet, he said. They left the wallet. Lamour said he thinks they knew he would have a lot of cash on him yesterday, because it was the day he had to pay the weekly fee for his taxi. He said the men took $800 and his cellphone. Lamour and one of his housemates, Bernard Aurelien, still had remnants of duct tape on their wrists and face yesterday. Aurelien, a 35-year-old shuttle bus driver, said the men barged into his room after waking him up. "They shined a flashlight in my face and told me not to scream," Aurelien said. Then they covered his eyes with duct tape and a sheet. He also heard them speak in Haitian Creole. "I was really shaken up," he said, adding that they stole $200 and his cellphone. Lamour said he called police from his landline, using his feet.
