BRAINTREE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Braintree Police Department is investigating a Tuesday night armed home invasion that allegedly involved three men attacking and injuring a resident of the home on Bickford Road.
Officials say the crime may be connected to online gaming and "other online activity."

The victim told police he had answered the front door and when he did, he was assaulted by three men, one of which had a pistol tucked inside his waistband.
