Two separate incidents. In the first, shots were fired. The second, thieves dressed as utility workers forced their way into a home, tied up the residents, and ransacked the place, taking whatever they wanted. That's the one where nobody was hurt in the end.

There was another one a few months back where the homeowner confronted theives in his home. He was armed with an AK47 of some sort and fired at them, but missed (at across the livingroom distances). It was generally assumed that he wanted to get his point across without the legal hassle that comes with dead badguys in the livingroom here in the northeast.

Sorry for the thread hijack!
