A local man narrowly escaped with his life when two men dressed as cable technicians barged into his home, handcuffed him and shot him Wednesday morning, according to police and witnesses.

Around 9 a.m., witnesses and Prince George’s County police say two men dressed in Comcast uniforms entered a first-floor apartment on the 5600 block of Regency Park Court in Suitland. Less than five minutes later, the man who lives in the apartment came crashing through a window, handcuffed and bleeding, and fell onto his front lawn, said Marvin King, 79, a neighbor who was sitting on his front porch filling out a word puzzle at the time.
