PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) - A 23-year-old Pittsfield man has been sentenced to serve 18 months in jail for shooting at a man who had stuck his head out of his front door after hearing gunfire.
    
Adam Pettijohn was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges including illegal possession of a firearm and assault with a dangerous weapon.
    
Prosecutors say Pettijohn fired five times at a city resident in October 2011 who had opened his front door after hearing shots fired and asked Pettijohn what was going on. The bullets struck the apartment building, but no one was hurt.
    
The Berkshire Eagle reports that the defense lawyer said Pettijohn is "intelligent" and "respectful" and took on a lot of responsibility for his family as a young man without a father figure.
    

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (AP) - Police in Great Barrington have arrested a New York man they say was driving from store to store, stealing antiques worth a total of about $10,000.

Police say 47-year-old Alfred Girardi of Oyster Bay, N.Y., stole from a store in Sheffield at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday, then took items from four stores in Great Barrington within an hour.

Most of the items stolen were books and small collectibles.

Based on a description of a vehicle seen at the Sheffield store, Girardi was pulled over at about 2:30 p.m.

Police tell The Berkshire Eagle the allegedly stolen merchandise was in his vehicle.

Girardi is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Southern Berkshire District Court on multiple larceny charges.

LEE, Mass. (AP) - Lee firefighters are trying to figure out who's been stealing thousands of dollars' worth of parts from an antique 1939 fire truck they hope to restore.

The Lee Fire Company - a private organization made up of current town firefighters - said Sunday's theft was the second time that someone has broken into a garage at a former landfill and purloined parts from the 1939 Maxim pumper.

Chief Alan Sparks says copper, a chrome radiator, and a windshield frame were among the parts stolen.

He tells The Berkshire Eagle  the radiator alone is worth $3,000 and the only use for the parts, other than the truck itself, would be selling them for scrap.

Police have no suspects.

Meanwhile, the vintage truck is being moved to a more secure location.
