I searched a few articles reporting on this and none mention whether the victim/s were armed or not.
Either way, a knock on the door at 5:55 in the am can't be anything good.
2 people home .. one male , one female ..
2 guys enter
shoots the male ( home owner ) and runs
..
NYSP says "This does not appear to be a random act of violence" , "State Police are confident that there is no threat to the public."
so this was a HIT job .. .. NYSP now checking the SAFE-ACT to see if HITS are legal or not ..
