Somehow, both of these stories happened in California and they came from Chief Tango;

In Angels Camp, Ronald Richard Farmer tried to break into Derek Rutherford’s home. Derek successfully prevented that for a period until a woman arrived and Ron started threatening to kill her, you know, since Derek wouldn’t let Ron kill him, so Ron Derek stepped out and shot Derek Ron until he was DRT.

On Indian Island, a resident confronted someone was trespassing on the island. Apparently he had arrived there by stolen kayak. When the resident confronted the kayak thief, the thief came at the resident with a machete in one hand and a bottle of liquor in the other and advanced on the resident. The resident convinced the thief that was a an improper response by shooting him. The the resident called 9-11 and performed first aid through further threats to his well-being. The kayak thief is expected to recover.

It was a busy night for the forces of good battling evil across the country;

AW1Ed and Jon the Mechanic send us a link to the events in Charlotte, North Carolina, former prosecutor Steve Sellers heard a ruckus outside his house and went to investigate. He found 31-year-old Degarrian Santonia Coleman blasting away at his grandmother who he had shot in the leg while she was driving and caused to wreck her car. Mister Sellers challenged Mister Coleman to lay down his weapon, but Coleman refused. Sellers shot him DRT. Coleman’s grandmother is expected to end up a little better than him.

In Nitro, West Virginia a couple awoke to the sound of someone breaking into their home. The man encountered an armed fellow in his living room who demanded his money. The man surrendered his earnings and then took a couple of shots at the fellow, but he’s not sure if he hit him.

Chief Tango sends us four more stories;

In Albuquerque, New Mexico two former CNN correspondents, Lynne Russell and her husband Chuck de Caro, stopped for the night at a Motel 6 to get some rest when Russell opened her car door, an armed fellow dragged her from the automobile and into the room. Her husband was right behind with his weapon and the thug ended up being DRT.

In Midland, Texas, a homeowner went to check on his dogs and encountered an intruder who un-assed the AO when hot lead was injected into the encounter, but the homeowner needs some target practice – no one was injured.

In Belton, South Carolina, 60-year-old Daniel Marvin Bratcher thought the best way to win back the love of his 44-year-old girlfriend was to force his way into her home and beat her. She disabused him of that notion by perforating his abdomen with a couple of .38 caliber bullets. When Brachter got to the hospital, he was determined to be DRT. I’m sure Shakespeare would have written about their great love if he’d been around.

In Albany, Georgia, a man went to check on his dog who was raising a ruckus and found a man dressed in black wearing a mask in one of the cars in his garage. The homeowner fired his gun at the fellow four times and didn’t hit him, not once, but he did un-ass the AO in a hurry.

In El Cajon, California, three young gentlemen visited their friend to inquire about the lateness of his debt to them. Of course, they felt a need to force their way into his home and to bring their firearm, you know because of their peaceful intentions. The homeowner responded with the Vice Presidential method, a shotgun. One of the youngsters was injured in the resulting blast and went to the hospital. The other two were picked up by authorities later with a quantity of methamphetamine and a playful clown mask.

So, do you need a DRT story? Here’s one from Las Vegas, Nevada where a homeowner made a fellow DRT when he broke into his home. His girlfriend/accomplice is in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds.

In Orlando, Florida, a teenager shot an intruder to protect his grandparents from some fellows trying to turn their lives around. His invalid grandfather told him to shoot the fellows when they tried to assault the teen. Dude isn’t DRT, but he’s in a medically-induced coma.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Greg Frazier approached a guy on the street and asked for a lighter, when the fellow reached in his pocket, Frazier pulled out his gun and demanded money. The guy came out of his pocket with his own gun and Frazier was DRT.

Thanks to Chief Tango for the links.

In Louisville, Kentucky, where young Marcus Thornsbury tried to turn his life around with a delightful little home invasion. When he and little friend forced their way into a home, they made everyone lay on the floor and they pistol-whipped another youngster, who then tried to flee the scene.

Mr. Thornsbury chased him down and they got into an altercation. That caused the victim’s father to wake up from the couch. Mr. Thornsbury tried to calm the father by waving his own firearm in the elderly gentleman’s face. The father didn’t take well to the gesture and retrieved his own gun and rudely perforated Thornsbury’s back, but that didn’t stop young Thornsbury from un-assing the AO – he didn’t get far, though, and now he’s resting comfortably at the taxpayers’ expense. Police are still looking for his little friend.

Another home invasion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama resulted in a DRT situation when the home owner laid low an enterprising youngster. His little friend is still being sought by the police so he can answer to the murder charges.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, another Domino’s pizza delivery fellow had to defend himself against 52-year-old Gerardo Alvarado who had robbed the pizza shop moments before the delivery guy pulled into the parking lot. The stingy delivery guy decided that giving up one of his bullets was better than giving up his take for the night. The police found poor Alvarado laying in the parking lot with non-DRT injuries when they arrived at the scene.

In Orlando, Florida, a homeowner stopped an enterprising young man from turning his life around when he forced his way into the home. The homeowner perforated the poor youngster who is now on a vacation at the taxpayers’ expense.

In Weld County, Colorado, Melanie Romero took her kids to work with her, you know, like a good mother. The problem is that her work was home burglary. Her other mistake was breaking into the home of Kim Steffen-Brauch, a retired police officer. Mistake three was burglarizing Kim’s home while Kim was taking a nap – so Kim was in a bad mood when she pulled her gun out and interrupted poor Melanie’s work flow and held her until the local deputies arrived and found Melanie’s kids waiting patiently in the car for Mom to return.

In Springfield, Missouri, another homeowner rudely interrupted another burglary with a few rounds of justice. When police arrived the found the youngster writhing in pain and screaming at the top of his lungs. Probably calling for some first responders. Now, he’s resting peacefully in the hospital while taxpayers are planning other, more appropriate accommodations.

Sorry, folks no DRT stories, but thanks to Chief Tango, nonetheless.

David Mendoza, a restauranteur in Bemidji, Minnesota was forced to defend his business and his employees from a relative, Otoniel Carranza who he had fired a few weeks ago.

Carranza had a habit of getting into altercations with the other employees, so Mendoza gave him $2000 to get back to his family in Atlanta, but Carranza wanted more. He had made comments about how he was going to “make a mess” of Mendoza, so Mendoza started carrying a legal gun.

Mendoza heard a ruckus in his kitchen and went to check it out. Carranza charged at him when he entered the kitchen, so Mendoza put him down, DRT and saved himself ten grand. Now Carranza’s hot head is at room temperature in the morgue.

Our story this morning comes from Union, Missouri, where a homeowner woke up to the sight of Eric M. Frazer standing over him holding the axe that Frazer had just used to break down the door. So, the homeowner put a knife through Mr. Frazer who, subsequently, un-assed the AO. Police found his car in a ditch, took him to the hospital where doctors determined that he was DRT.

St Louis Post-Dispatch tells the story a little differently, though. They say that Mike Wieners, the homeowner told them by phone that him a Frazer were friends and they’d been hoisting more than a few adult beverages when Frazer started busting up Wieners’ apartment and demanding that he take Frazer to Arkansas. Wieners agreed and picked up some beer for the trip, along with a knife.

The Post-Dispatch continues that Wieners had laid low another feller in the same manner back in February. That time he’d turned the intruder’s gun back on him – Wiener was cleared in that incident. So, the police are investigating whether Wieners has just had a string of bad luck, a poor choice of friends or what. Police say that their initial investigation is going Wieners’ way.

In Windsor Lock, Connecticut, a homeowner heard someone break into his garage and confronted the feller accompanied by his firearm. When an altercation broke out, the homeowner employed his firearm. It’s not known if the feller was stuck, but the homeowner knows that he wasn’t struck in his getaway sticks, because he lit out for the woods. Yeah, I know…Connecticut. I was surprised, too, but not as much as Mr Criminal.

In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, two other fellers tried to break into a house by going through the garage, too, with similar results. This time, the homeowner tried to tickle the criminals with his .22 caliber revolver and they probably escaped injury.

In Fredericksburg, Virginia, a feller by the name of Damion Hunnicutt thought he could walk into someone’s home unannounced and attack the son of the homeowner with a knife acquired from the kitchen. The homeowner’s son disabused him of that notion with a bullet to his arm and another to his head. I’m guessing that it was a small caliber weapon, too, because Mr. Hunnicutt is currently under arrest.
