New Castle County police are searching for at least two masked men, one apparently carrying a rifle, who knocked on doors in the Mallard Pointe neighborhood late Friday. No arrests have been made, and authorities believe the weapons may have been airsoft-style guns.


Two guys knock on doors with a toy rifle and New Castle County rolls out the cavalry. Meanwhile, Delaware lets anyone over 18 openly carry a real long gun down Kirkwood Highway — no permit, no paperwork, no problem. So the only actual offense here was knocking. Police spent Friday night hunting a prop. Reassuring.
