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.

From this, how did they determine it was an attempted home invasion or robbery?
With just these facts, it sounds more like a couple with a baby were driving and had some problem and were going to those houses to ask for help.
Except the woman with the baby took off when the cops showed up. Not your average “I need help” behavior.
