BURRILLVILLE, R.I. (AP) - The state has ended a contract with a private security firm after one of its employees allegedly shot at an intruder during a confrontation at a Burrillville hospital.

The state Department of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals says the employee, Todd Brown, broke the rules by bringing a gun onto the campus of Zambarano Hospital.
The department ended its contract on Tuesday with Brown's employer, Industrial Security and Investigators.

The altercation happened Sunday night when Brown, a hospital security guard, went to investigate a flickering light inside a vacant building.

He told state police he encountered a man with a knife and fired a single shot at him from his 9 mm handgun.

State police have not found the alleged intruder, and don't believe he was shot.

When confronting an intruder: scream then use harsh language while dialing 911.

Whatever you do it is imperative that you not harm the perp or damage his self-esteem. After all he has suffered a bad childhood and was FORCED into a life of crime.

This story is not surprising coming out of a N.E. State.
