QUINLAN - A FBI SWAT team raided a home in Quinlan early Thursday morning in a search for robbery suspects.

The team was ready to make arrests and sweep the area at about 6 a.m. in the 10000 block of Cody Lane in Hunt County.

Shots were fired during the raid in which three robbery suspects were involved. While authorities said no FBI personnel were injured, two of the suspects were taken to a North Texas hospital. There has been no word on their conditions or their identities.

"I was a little baffled and I came out to see what my dogs were barking at and they were like, 'Get back in the house; get back in the house,'" said Dorothy Ellis, a neighbor.

Ellis said two of the suspects were brothers living in their father's home.

"The one brother was real reclusive," she said. "But, the other one was a real good friend of mine and I absolutely had no idea. I'm just in shock."

Authorities did not reveal the reason behind the raid.
