Now you tell me?

The 44-year-old victim said she surprised the thug in her home located near Richards Street at around 4:30 am, and he demanded money. Just as he was about to leave with $75, he said, “You should lock your windows — you live near the projects.” He also attempted to show a softer side, saying, “I wasn’t going to shoot to kill you, I was just going to shoot you in the leg.”

Apple picked
Someone burglarized a Henry Street home on March 24, taking jewelry and a computer.
