AW1Ed sends us our first feel good story for this Sunday morning. It comes from Missouri<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Around 9:20pm Thursday, deputies responded to a home in the 1000 block of Osage Parkway where the homeowner told police that he had shot the man, whom he knew. The victim, identified only as a 60-year-old man, was located just inside the front door of the home.<\/p>\n

The homeowner told police that he and the victim had been in a prior argument. He claimed that the man had entered his home with a weapon and that he shot the victim in self defense. A weapon was recovered at the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chief Tango sends us a couple more stories, the first from Ohio<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The [71-year-old] North Side homeowner dialed 911 just after noon yesterday and gave his address. When asked what his emergency was, he replied, \u201cSome … some guy broke into my house, and I shot him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He answered the dispatcher\u2019s questions. Yes, it just happened. Yes, the man was lying motionless at his door at 1915 Faymeadow Ave. No, he didn\u2019t appear to be breathing. No, he didn\u2019t know him. The homeowner\u2019s revolver was still in his hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe kicked the door in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

After a minute, the dispatcher told him help was on the way, and he hung up.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived to find the homeowner inside and the intruder dead on the porch. The door showed signs of being kicked in. The intruder was pronounced dead at 12:12 p.m. Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Columbus police spokesman, said it appeared to be a case of self-defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has the right to protect their house,\u201d Weiner said. At the same time, \u201cit\u2019s very tragic. It\u2019s something he\u2019ll have to live with.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
