Linden : At about 1:30am today two men armed with a shotgun and a cutlass pushed open the door and entered the home of a man at Wismar, Linden. At the time the man was at home with his reputed wife and her eighteen-year-old son and daughter.
The eighteen-year-old son confronted the man with the cutlass and took it away from him, during which he received minor injuries. The lad then confronted the man with the shotgun, while armed with the cutlass, and wrested the firearm from the bandit. During this scuffle a round was discharged which struck the roof of the building.
Both bandits made a hasty retreat and escaped.
The firearm, a 12 gauge shotgun, along with the cutlass were handed over to the police who are conducting investigations.
