Men, one armed, attempt to rob Clinton-area residence

Two men, one of them armed with a handgun, entered the back door of a Clinton-area residence and pointed a gun at an 18-year-old resident of the home last night, according to reports at the Sampson County Sheriff's Office. The men fled after the teenager ran further into the home to get a weapon of his own, authorities say.

The attempted burglary was reported at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night at 171 Beverly Lane, Clinton. Michael Anthony Hall had returned home and entered the back door of his home and two white male suspects opened the door right behind him, according to sheriff's reports. One of the men pointed a gun at Hall, reports state.

"The victim ran into the house and retrieved a weapon," said Sheriff's Detective Lawrence Dixon. When Hall ran back out, the two man had fled from the residence.
