TWO FAMILY MEMBERS were killed last night in a suspected home invasion in Pinewood Gardens.
As The Tribune was going to press, reports came in of the incident, in the vicinity of Buttonwood Avenue and Sequoia Street. The shooting took place at about 10.15pm.
Police confirmed that a door had been kicked in at a home in an apartment complex on Buttonwood Avenue.
Reports from the scene suggested that it was a mother and son who had been murdered, but officers would only confirm that two family members, a man and a woman, had been killed. The apartment complex had been cordoned off, and police confirmed they were hunting for a gunman.
The Tribune has also received reports that the man may have been out on bail and wearing an ankle bracelet.
Anyone with information about the incident can contact police on 919, 322-3333/4, the Central Detective Unit on 502-9991, 502-9910 or Crimestoppers on 328-TIPS.

Can someone explain to me the use/point of the ankle bracelet? I mean besides it being a nuisance to the wearer of the ornament.

If this criminal was wearing an ankle brace, how hard is it to figure out which individual was not in place during that time. Or if it was someone out on bail being monitered, how is it that his leaving his monitered location was not detected. Hold on wait, I just remembered charges were being CONSIDERED for someone who stole a throne.
