BYRON TOWNSHIP -- Two men remained hospitalized after both were shot in the face, apparently during an attempted burglary of a business.UPDATE: January 10, 2006 WOOD channel 8:
The two were shot around 11:30 p.m. Saturday at 8027 S. Division Ave., an industrial building that houses an excavating and trucking company. Kent County sheriff's deputies were called to that address on a report of a burglary. By the time they arrived, the two men had been shot.
One of the suspects, a 24-year-old Grand Rapids man, was being held at gunpoint, Sgt. Roger Parent said, and the other had fled.
Minutes later, the second suspect, a 32-year-old Kentwood man, was found hiding behind a BP gas station on 84th Street and U.S. 131. Both were wounded in the face by shotgun blasts.
Authorities declined to say who fired the shots or release details of the shooting. Parent said he does not expect the shooter to be charged with a crime.

Kenneth Richards and Adam Beall were shot in the face in early December when deputies say they tried to steal from a vehicle at the business in the 8000 block of South Division Avenue.
The prosecutor has ruled the shooter was acting in self-defense. But, the business owner could still be in some trouble as he was on probation and should not have had a gun.
