Khari Wilcox, 18, of Abbot Street and Antonio Brown Jr., 27, of Cambridge were arrested in hospital beds this morning on charges related to a botched home invasion in Brookline Wednesday morning, Brookline Police Chief Daniel O'Leary announced this morning.

The driver of a stolen rental getaway car and another person remain on the lam, O'Leary said.

Wilcox and Brown were charged with armed home invasion, armed assault in a dwelling, attempted robbery, attempted murder and illegal possession of a firearm, O'Leary said.

O'Leary said the four men went to an apartment at 198 Saint Paul St. late yesterday morning to rob the occupant of a particular apartment, possibly of drugs. "That's one of the theories we're looking at," he said at a press conference, adding the resident was "targeted."

But the occupant fought back.

He was shot repeatedly in the leg, O'Leary said, declining to say who shot him. Both Brown and Wilcox got stabbed; one of them was also shot.

All three are in stable condition at local hospitals, he said.

The four men then fled in a rental car stolen in Cambridge. The two injured men were dumped at 75 Harvard St. The car was later recovered on St. Botolph Street, near Symphony Hall in Boston, he said.
