Warren Apartment Evacuated After Man Shoots At Bedroom Door: Police

WARREN, RI — Police in Warren arrested a man Tuesday morning after they said he shot at a man's bedroom door and caused a heavy police presence outside an apartment building.

Silvio Damico, 44, was charged with firing in a compact area and disorderly conduct.

Warren police were called to an apartment in the 30th block of Warren Avenue around 6:15 a.m., after a woman called saying a man was shooting a BB gun at a bedroom door inside the first floor apartment. The woman told police her 28-year-old son was inside the bedroom.

Police said they learned Damico may have had a real gun on him and tried to make contact with him, but couldn't. Apartment residents were evacuated, and police set up a perimeter, blocking off several nearby streets.

Warren police called in a Rhode Island State Police tactical team and an armored vehicle to assist with the incident. Police said Damico was eventually taken into custody without incident.

Damico is scheduled to be arraigned at 6th District Court in Providence. Police said more charges may come, following their investigation.
