Amy sends us a story from Houston, Texas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Investigators said four male suspects tied up the family inside the home using their shoelaces and pistol-whipped two of the male victims.<\/p>\n

One of the teen victims said the suspects held a gun to his mother’s head and pistol-whipped his father and twin brother.<\/p>\n

The teen added that his uncle who lives next door heard everything and confronted the suspects with a gun outside of the home.<\/p>\n

Police said the uncle shot and killed one of the suspects and wounded another in the leg.<\/p>\n

Two of the suspects remain at large.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other day we talked about the Domino’s Pizza driver in Mesquite, Texas<\/a> who killed a thief who tried to rob him. Initially it was reported that the delivery guy didn’t have a concealed weapon license. It turns out that he does have a license from Arizona which is valid in Texas.<\/p>\n

Domino’s Pizza has suspended the driver as the investigation continues. A spokeswoman for the company didn’t return a phone call Monday seeking comment.<\/p>\n

Mesquite resident Joyce Coologhan said she’s a friend of the driver, whom she declined to name. She wrote on social media that the driver had an out-of-state gun license hours before that information was published in a news report.<\/p>\n

She described him as “a real nice guy” and an Air Force veteran who took a job as a Domino’s driver to supplement his disability benefits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>;<\/p>\n

According to CMPD, Lavarius Mattess Patterson was nabbed after he accidentally shot himself in the leg while running from the robbery scene and then checked himself into a Charlotte hospital seeking treatment.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told police that a black male entered the Kangaroo Express in the 10000 block of N. Tryon Street around 2:14 a.m. and robbed the store at gunpoint. The suspect then ran in the direction of E. Mallard Creek Church Road.<\/p>\n

As police were looking for the suspect, someone notified CMPD that they had heard a gunshot and saw a man limping away from the area.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie, down in Dallas, Texas<\/a> got lucky;<\/p>\n

Jamie was lying in his bed when he heard the footsteps. The robbers entered through the back door, just after his wife left for the airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe pointed the gun at me and he said, ‘Don’t you say a thing. Don’t you dare move,’\u201d says the 65-year-old M Streets homeowner. \u201cHe had the gun to my head and he made me turn over on my stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

WFAA is concealing his identity because Jamie is terrified the home invasion robbers will return. <\/p>\n

The next five minutes felt like an eternity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still feel the gun on the back of my head,\u201d he recalls. \u201cHe kept saying, \u2018Where is the safe?\u2019 and I would say, \u2018I don’t have the safe\u2019 and he would press [the gun] into my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie waited for an hour and 27 minutes for Dallas police officers to arrive. They just didn\u2019t have enough officers to respond sooner to the home invasion robbery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie is fine, but by the grace of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
