A Long­denville man man­aged to es­cape se­ri­ous in­jury when an ar­gu­ment over gro­ceries es­ca­lat­ed in­to a strug­gle over a gun on Wednes­day night. 

Po­lice said the 30-year-old man was leav­ing his Flem­ming Street home around 8 pm when he was con­front­ed by a rel­a­tive who asked about the miss­ing food­stuff that was sent by an­oth­er fam­i­ly mem­ber. 

The con­ver­sa­tion turned in­to a row and the rel­a­tive promised to get a gun and re­turn. 

Short­ly af­ter, the man saw two of his rel­a­tives com­ing in a white Kia van. 

One of the rel­a­tives in the van pulled out a gun, but the vic­tim man­aged to knock it out of his hand. 

The at­tack­er got out of the van and picked it up with both he and the vic­tim strug­gling over the gun which was fired sev­er­al times dur­ing the scuf­fle. How­ev­er, no one was in­jured.

The at­tack­er even­tu­al­ly got back in­to the van and left. 

Cen­tral Di­vi­sion po­lice were called in and were search­ing for the sus­pects, up to yes­ter­day, but did not find them. — Shane Su­perville
