Two residents, identified as Kyree Shaw, 40, and Diana Bailey, 52, of the 500 block of Little Gloucester Road, approached the driver and demanded the package that was supposed to have been delivered, police said.

Shaw then threatened that he would get a gun and returned to his vehicle. Police said when Shaw was returning to the delivery truck, he appeared to put an object in his waistband.
