The police said he used a potato gun, a PVC pipe that propels objects with a light accelerant, such as hair spray, that can be ignited by a grill lighter...?

The newspaper is in Meriden, CT. I used to delievr it. The location is actually in Rhode Island, though the article (a copy of a RI paper) never makes that clear.

Was it painted black? If it was painted black then it was an Assault Tater (as opposed to salted taters, which are quite delicious).
