Deadly force
Police responded to a report that someone fired a shot through a pizza shop window. Police said Vincent Barnes was involved in an argument at Bellisario's Restaurant along Duncan Avenue. Barnes came back after the initial argument, pointed a gun at the other man and fired a shot at him, but missed. Barnes was kicked out of the bar. When police arrived, Barnes flashed his gun at officers and took off running. A state police helicopter was used to help search, and a man matching Barnes's description walked out of the woods as a patrol car drove by. Police said Barnes fired shots at a Hampton officer, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Vincent Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
