Hampstead, North Carolina

From Wilmington’s WECT.com of February 19, 2007
Relatives Targeted by Home Invaders

Thursday morning, a Pender County man woke up to three men breaking through his door and demanding money.

One day after the crime, his wall is pock-marked with gun-shot holes. The victim says they fired a .45 caliber six times. He ran to his closet, grabbed his shotgun and fired back.

Just minutes earlier, his cousin, who lives next door, also faced the three masked men. They demanded money and information, then assaulted him.

The sheriff's department and the victim say they still don't know why it happened. Authorities are searching for three men in a burgundy van.

But the victim says he's not waiting for authorities to find the men who invaded his home. He's ready to move, because he fears for the lives of his young daughters.
