According to the Town of Shandaken Police Department, two men broke into an apartment above Railroad Pizza in Big Indian early Friday morning wielding a rifle and wearing ski masks.
According to a press release, the two would-be robbers, one of whom was a 30-year-old homeless man named Craig D. Rose, were disarmed and overpowered by their victims, but not before Rose allegedly fired his .22 rifle inside the apartment twice. Rose and his partner, who was not identified in the press release, were both seriously injured in the tussle, and were transported to Kingston Hospital, the press release states.
