... story run on gunmen breaking into local (9)
I believe the answer is:
narrative
'story' is the definition.
('narrative' can be a synonym of 'story')
'run on gunmen breaking into local' is the wordplay.
'run on' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'gunmen' becomes 'ra'.
'breaking into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'local' becomes 'native' ('native' can be similar in meaning to 'local').
'r'+'ra'='rra'
'rra' going inside 'native' is 'NARRATIVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for narrative that I've seen before include "Story line" , "Spoken account; story" , "Tale" , "Account describing events" , "Account of connected events, a story" .)
