Resident pulls weapon, fires at would-be robbers Two intruders escape, while two suspects face charges
– Cindy Clayton, The Pilot 04 OCT 13
PORTSMOUTH Four people entered a home on Long Point Boulevard armed and masked and intent on robbing their victims, police said. But the intruders were greeted with resistance. One person in the home pulled a gun and fired, hitting an intruder, according to police. Others grabbed a second masked man and held him. Two intruders escaped. The residents were unharmed.

Who needs a gun handy at home in Portsmouth ?

Well, it is Portsmouth, after all . . . . . . When not one, but FOUR armed, masked men break into your little cottage, what are you to do? As Tony Macrini on WNIS-AM radio always says, when asked "Why do you need a gun?" He always answers, "Because you might need to shoot somebody!" Amen!
