Marine_7002 sends us our first feel story today and it comes from Michigan<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at about 4:47 a.m. in the 15000 block of Flanders, according to Chief Jeff Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant entered the home through a window and had a firearm with him,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThe house was occupied by a man and his wife. He had a legal firearm and confronted the intruder. He ended up shooting him and the defendant died at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police are still working to identify the invader and have declined to release the names of the homeowners.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chief Tango sends us some more stories. The first comes from Texas and goes out to LTC Robert Bateman who wonders why people take weapons to restaurants.<\/p>\n

The robbery happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday as a male suspect entered the Church’s on the East Freeway at Normandy.<\/p>\n

As the suspect held employees at gunpoint, a retired Harris County deputy pulled out his weapon to try and stop the crime. That’s when the suspect opened fire and shot the deputy.<\/p>\n

The deputy returned fire, but the suspect got away. Police said there was a trail of blood, so they believe the suspect was wounded.<\/p>\n

The deputy was taken to the hospital in stable condition and was expected to be okay.<\/p>\n

Police said the retired deputy was inside the restaurant eating at the time of the robbery and was not working security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next story comes from Florida<\/a>;<\/p>\n

When officers arrived they found Steven Ricker, 41, outside an apartment with a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

Ricker was transported via an ambulance to Leesburg Regional Medical Center where he died.<\/p>\n

The Leesburg Police Department said investigators spoke with a man, identified as 28-year-old Jimmy Soto, who told them he heard knocking at both his apartment doors and repeatedly said \u201cgo away\u201d to the person knocking.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Soto told them that Ricker attempted to enter the doorway so he fired one shot hitting Ricker in the torso area<\/p>\n

Police said Soto told them he was in fear for his fianc\u00e9, young daughter and son who were in the apartment with him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The last story comes from Missouri<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Police said an adult man was getting ready to leave a home in the 3900 block of Lafayette Avenue around 8:45 Tuesday morning when he opened the garage and found a man with a gun. There was a struggle between the suspect and man, which ended when a woman inside the house got a handgun and began shooting at the suspect. The suspect and woman then exchanged gunfire.<\/p>\n

After gunshots were exchanged, the suspect got into the victim\u2019s car, which was warming up in the driveway, and drove away.<\/p>\n

An 8-year-old boy suffered a gunshot graze wound to his leg and was taken to a hospital after arriving at the St. Louis Language Immersion School, located at 4011 Papin Street. The school is about a mile from the Lafayette Avenue shooting scene.<\/p>\n

A female victim was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. Police later arrested the man who lives at the home because they said they found marijuana in a bathroom and in the basement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s another one that Fred sent us with the stupidest criminal in our history – you’d think he’d know better than to rob a Dunkin Donuts<\/a>;<\/p>\n

An unidentified would-be robber tried to hold up a Dunkin\u2019 Donuts at gun-point in Philadelphia on Monday. Within seconds, two police officers, guns drawn, subdued him without incident. And, to top it off, the guy was brandishing a BB gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, who didn’t see that coming?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
