Monday morning feel good stories

The first stop on our tour of incidents of good guys with guns saving the world this morning comes from Mississippi;

Authorities said the incident occurred in the Eastover area of town shortly before 7 a.m. Saturday. They said the victim was putting items into his truck when two men armed with guns approached him and forced him into his home.

Police said the men took the victim’s wallet and drove him to a nearby ATM to withdraw more money.

Authorities said the men mentioned returning to the house to do something to the man’s wife. When they made him get out of the truck, police said the man grabbed a gun and began shooting at the two men.

One of the men died at the scene, however the second is still at large.

Our next stop is in Texas, as most seem to be;

The homeowner [Ellis Tyra] told deputies that he saw a gray Dodge Durango in a carport of his storage building, next to his home. He grabbed a gun, went to the storage building to see what was going on, and found two suspects, a man and a woman.The homeowner ordered the two to stay where they were, holding the man at gunpoint. The woman fled the scene in the Durango.

The homeowner, feeling his life was in danger, fired one shot striking the vehicle in the passenger’s side. No injuries were reported as a result of the discharge of the firearm.

A Smith County Sheriff’s Patrol Unit arrived around 9 minutes later and took the male into custody.

Using a description of the vehicle, a second unit located the Durango, driven by the wife of the man in custody, on Farm to Market 724 between Twin Lakes Drive and Highway 64 West. A short pursuit ensued and the woman was taken into custody a short time later.
