Cranston man nabbed after shooting into home

CRANSTON -- A 20-year-old man fired a pistol round into a home on Colwell Street last night, in what was meant to be a warning shot to disperse a group of youths fighting on the street, the police said.

The bullet passed through a window of the home at 68 Colwell St. and lodged in an inside wall, the police said.

Robert Garrin, of 154 Franklin Ave., was charged with disorderly conduct, shooting in a compact area, and shooting across a highway.

He was one of six men and boys charged in connection with the street fight. The police also reported seizing bats, knives, brass knuckles, and a BB gun from the group.

The incident is not considered gang-related, the police said.
