MIDDLEBURRY — Middlebury police responded to a Halladay Road home during the early morning hours of Aug. 17 following a 911 call featuring screaming in the background.

Police on the scene interviewed the man who had placed the call, who alleged someone had been shooting at him and others in the home.
