Late Friday night in Delaware, masked men were caught on camera knocking on doors in the Mallard Pointe neighborhood of New Castle around 10:50 p.m., with one carrying what appeared to be a rifle and another wearing a tactical vest. Residents reported seeing the individuals running away after knocking on doors; police also noted the presence of four other men, two on bicycles and two walking. A K-9 unit joined officers searching for suspects but none were found. Police believe the weapons may have been airsoft guns rather than real firearms.
