\"Police<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first feel good story came from near Cincinnati<\/a> today, were Phil and Mary Smith were drinking tea late at night last week when Mark Montgomery appeared at their window and started yelling and banging on the window;<\/p>\n

“It gave us the impression he was trying to get in and get away from something,” she said.<\/p>\n

Then Montgomery smashed out the front window, police said, likely with a bench on the front porch.<\/p>\n

Smith’s daughter, Martha, ran upstairs to wake her father, a scientist at Procter & Gamble. He has a .375 Magnum revolver.<\/p>\n

“He was already getting his gun out of the closet,” Martha Smith, 26, said. “I went into my room, locked the door and called 911 from under my desk.”<\/p>\n

She told a dispatcher: “Somebody is breaking into my house. I don’t know what is going on,” according to a recording of the call.<\/p>\n

“While I was on the phone with the dispatcher, I heard one gunshot. It was terrifying,” she said. “The person pounding on the window had been shouting the whole time, “Help me!” but then bolted for the road.”<\/p>\n

Mary Smith said her husband came downstairs and, not knowing if the man was armed with a weapon, yelled for the intruder to stop. At that point, the man was halfway through the window, so Phil Smith squeezed off one round.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That set a fire under Mr. Montgomery’s ass and sent him scurrying away.<\/p>\n

Chief Tango sends us a story from Oklahoma<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Investigators say just before midnight, the homeowner was awakened by a knock at his door.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the victim opened his door, when a man hit him with a large metal pipe. The homeowner shot the man several times with a small caliber handgun. The shooting victim then went to his own house located several blocks away and called the sheriff’s office about being shot. He was flown to an Oklahoma City hospital with possible life-threatening injuries. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next story comes from a story we did a few days ago about a shooting in Detroit<\/a>. It seems that Detroiters are getting sick of all the crime and they have the support of their police chief;<\/p>\n

According to information provided to MLive Detroit by the Detroit Police Department last week, there had been 10 justifiable shootings that resulted in the deaths of eight suspected criminals.<\/p>\n

“Detroiters are fed up; they’re fed up with violence,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig said last week. “I’m not encouraging violence, and in fact I’m about the business of identifying those violent perpetrators that carry illegal guns” but I will “stand by” the right of law-abiding citizens to arm themselves and defend their own lives.<\/p>\n

Craig said the number of justified self-defense are not up significantly compared to last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
