The mayor, police chief and town manager of Garner were planning to meet Thursday afternoon to discuss a Wednesday incident where a citizen fired a shotgun at suspects apparently trying to break into a neighbor's home.

Garner Police cited Perry Whitaker, 26, of Nellane Drive for violating the town's gun ordinance for firing his shotgun.

Garner police said Whitaker told them he was threatened by two suspects after he spotted them trying to get into a foreclosed home across the street from his own.

After Whitaker fired his shotgun at them, the two suspects jumped into a vehicle and drove off, according to police.
