From Houston, TX

A pastor of a small church in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood was nearly shot when he confronted a burglar.
It all began around 6:30 a.m. Saturday when the burglary alarm went off at the Faith Missionary Baptist Church on Brinkley Street and Southview Street.
The pastor says he arrived at the church and surprised a man outside going through stolen stuff.  When the pastor flashed his own gun, the burglary suspect fired at him. During an exclusive interview with ABC13, the pastor says the burglar took off with the hard drive to his surveillance system and now has no video.

Miller County, MO

Miller County’s prosecutor says a homeowner was justified when they shot an intruder last week.  The Miller County’s Sheriff’s Office said it happened July 23 at 116 Old Bagnell Road.  Investigators say the intruder entered the residence illegally and started a confrontation with the homeowner, who shot him in the arm.

The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  Prosescutor Bin Winrey said information obtained during the investigation showed the homeowner acted within their rights.

  1. Hmmm…thou shalt not steal and thou shalt not kill?

    If you steal from me I’m going to shoot and likely kill your ass!

    1. Difference between “thou shalt not kill” (murder for gain) and shooting someone in defense of self, family, and country.

  2. That Anne Hammock must have all kinds of muscle strains from the contortions she did writing that MO story. The intruder as victim trick? Silly.

  3. Well, I hope the pastor is able to replace the surveillance system’s hard drive, but what value is there for the thief in stealing one in the first place?

    At least shoot the jerk in the right spot – something like that. Give him something to remember his transgressions.

    1. Thieves evolve with the times and take DVRs or the hard drives along with them so as to remove video evidence.

  4. I thought the flashing of a weapon was when you didn’t have that suppressor thingy on the end? Shouldn’t the MO story read perp instead of victim? Asking for a future journalist friend.
