HOUSTON – A Texas homeowner thought he was opening the door to a UPS delivery, but instead, he was ambushed.

When the first man rang the doorbell at the home in Houston, he asked the homeowner for his signature before suddenly forcing his way inside the door, police said.

Three other men with guns then ran inside and beat the homeowner, according to police. The man is recovering from head and neck injuries.

Two women and two children hid in locked closets, officials said.

Police said the robbers got away with jewelry and collectible guns, and they are still on the loose.
