After watching the car for a while, Matt closed his power garage door, but someone jumped out of the car and tried to trip the sensors to keep the door open.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just let out a yell like, &#8216;Hey!,&#8217; as loud and as nasty as I could sound and they jumped and shot twice,&#8221; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was armed and the bullets pierced Kelly&#8217;s garage door and the back of his Suburban, which was parked in his garage.<\/p>\n<p>Another shot was fired into the air.<\/p>\n<p>The men took off without saying a word.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was closer to me than my gun was,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I screamed rather than go for my gun. I didn&#8217;t have time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelly thinks the men wanted more than his wallet or the keys to his SUV, he believes they wanted to get inside his house.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, if you see something suspicious, you should have your gun within reach. Matt was lucky that the criminals need range time.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kaltura.com\/p\/557781\/sp\/55778100\/embedIframeJs\/uiconf_id\/12411302\/partner_id\/557781\"><\/script><object name=\"kaltura_player_1430252000\" id=\"kaltura_player_1430252000\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" allowNetworking=\"all\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" height=\"300\" width=\"500\" data=\"http:\/\/www.kaltura.com\/index.php\/kwidget\/wid\/0_t2vncrng\/uiconf_id\/12411302\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"allowNetworking\" value=\"all\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.kaltura.com\/index.php\/kwidget\/wid\/0_t2vncrng\/uiconf_id\/12411302\"\/><param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"\"\/><a href=\"http:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\">video platform<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\/video_platform\/video_management\">video management<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\/solutions\/video_solution\">video solutions<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\/video_platform\/video_publishing\">video player<\/a><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Finally, from Alabama, comes the story about a fellow who murdered a woman and took another hostage. While police were hunting for the man and woman, they showed up at a fellow&#8217;s house trying to get help. He turned them away with a gun in his hand;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The next morning, a neighbor called 911 after Minor and Grinnell knocked on his door for help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He pulled a gun or a shot gun on them and told them he couldn&#8217;t help them,&#8221; says Harris.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Law enforcement was driving through and checking all the empty buildings,&#8221; says neighbor Ray Hufstetler.<\/p>\n<p>Hufstetler says it was a flurry of activity for a usually quiet part of the county.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The helicopter came by after they found the truck they some dogs come in and try to track them down. But they were unsuccessful,&#8221; says Hufstetler.<\/p>\n<p>As deputies pulled up to an abandoned chicken house, Grinnell, with bruises on her face, asked officers for help.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;As soon as those cars pulled up, he bailed,&#8221; says Harris.<\/p>\n<p>After a short chase, Minor was arrested. As of now, he faces charges of assault and kidnapping.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/WRCB.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=599447;hostDomain=www.wrcbtv.com;playerWidth=500;playerHeight=300;isShowIcon=true;clipId=11433222;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay'><\/script><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrcbtv.com\" title=\"WRCBtv.com | Chattanooga News, Weather \">WRCBtv.com | Chattanooga News, Weather <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ironically, Minor was hiding out in a chicken coop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning first feel good story is a follow up from an Arkansas story we did &hellip; <a title=\"Wednesday morning feel good stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59544\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Wednesday morning feel good stories<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
