Neighbor Shoots at Alleged Peeping Tom
A man shot at and eventually detained a man he said was peering into his neighbor’s apartment homes Sunday night in Lake Ridge. After peering into other homes, the resident said he saw the man walk toward his back door in the 4000 block of Farrington Court. He walked outside to confront the man and determined that he wasn’t a resident of the complex, said Officer Erika Hernandez, Prince William police spokeswoman. The neighbor felt threatened, grabbed his handgun and shot at the man. No one was injured. After the shots missed, the resident, his roommate and another neighbor detained the man until police arrived. (InsideNoVa.com)
