W. Warwick home invasion: owner speaks

WEST WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) – A West Warwick neighborhood is still looking for answers after a bizarre attempted robbery on Labor Day.

Eyewitness News spoke to Ruth Fulton, a homeowner that says her granddaughter told her someone was trying to get onto her porch.

Fulton soon discovered it was a woman holding a baby trying to enter her home, all while a different person was trying to break-in to a neighbor’s house. Eventually, she heard a pop.

According to police, that pop was a gunshot.

“All of a sudden, police are out next door,” said Fulton. She says her neighbor shot the alleged attempted robber, but police have not confirmed if anyone was hit by the bullet.

Fulton believes the woman and the baby took off on foot while the other suspect fled in a truck.

Police are investigating, but there is no word on any arrests.
