From St Louis, Missouri<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The suspect had a weapon when he approached the victim, who was pumping gas, at the Phillips 66 on North Broadway and Grand around 7:30 a.m. To protect himself, the victim, a licensed CCW carrier, got out his weapon and shot the suspect in his buttocks, police said.<\/p>\n

After being shot, the suspect got into a car with a second suspect and drove to Love\u2019s Travel Stop in the 6100 block of North Broadway, where he called for help. The suspect was taken to the hospital and listed as stable. <\/p>\n

According to police, the second suspect and vehicle they were inside were wanted following a robbery at the Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights. Officials said the vehicle they were inside was taken during a carjacking overnight in the 7000 block of Chippewa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Newport News, Virginia<\/a>;<\/p>\n

It was the ending to a crazy chain of events at a Newport News apartment complex. It started when neighbors in Hidenwood North say a man was peeping into windows. One neighbor confronted the stranger and minutes later, he took off running. The neighbor who was on the phone with 911 gave chase.

\u201cI\u2019m chasing the suspect,\u201d the neighbor told the dispatcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot hear you sir,\u201d the dispatcher said. \u201cI can\u2019t hear you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the suspect running towards his car with the neighbor right on his heels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am chasing a suspect,\u201d the neighbor screamed. \u201cHe is trying to break into houses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspect got into his car. As he pulled away, he hit the neighbor, who ended up on top of the hood before falling to the ground. At that point, the neighbor pulled out a gun and fired at the car.<\/p>\n

\u201cShots fired,\u201d the neighbor said. \u201cHe tried to run me over.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No reports on whether anyone was struck by gunfire.<\/p>\n

In Charleston, South Carolina<\/a>;<\/p>\n

It wasn’t what a family of three expected at 12:30 in the morning. An attempted burglary at their house on Melville Road in North Charleston. But police say the suspects didn’t get away without hearing gunfire from a man protecting his family.<\/p>\n

“I ran outside and said stop. One male jumped over the fence and ran. The other one turned towards me and reached into his pants like he was pulling on one. So I fired a shot. And it wasn’t a warning shot. I meant to hit,” Potts said.<\/p>\n

Seth [Potts] says the bullet hit the fence in the backyard as the suspects ran away.<\/p>\n

“I work hard for what I have. Who do you think you are trying to come and take from me,” Potts said.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old is a former member of the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division. He doesn’t regret standing his ground.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In New Orleans, Louisiana<\/a>, Ted Webster’s daughter was buying a cell phone from a guy whose ad she answered on the internet. When he arrived at Ted’s home, instead of a cell phone he pulled out a gun and held it against Ted’s wife’s head.<\/p>\n

Ted Webster then tackled the suspect to the ground. He was able to get Daniels away from his wife. Then Webster and [Joshua] Daniels got up and Webster said he was still demanding money. So Webster said he would go get it but instead he got his gun.<\/p>\n

He returned to the front door where the suspect was standing. Webster said Daniels started to raise his gun and that’s when Webster said he was forced to shoot Daniels.<\/p>\n

“All I can remember is, I saw that hand starting to come up and I had no choice. I had to pull the trigger,” said Webster.<\/p>\n

Police said Daniels was shot in the stomach. He left with another suspect who was sitting in the getaway car. Soon after, Daniels was found 15 miles away at a Citgo gas station near I-10. After he arrived, police took Daniels to the hospital where he later died.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Chicago, Illinois<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Shortly after 11:30 a.m., the victim was standing outside his vehicle in the 5300 block of South Pulaski Road when two men approached and demanded his car keys, police said.<\/p>\n

Instead of handing over his keys, the victim shot one of the men in the groin area. The other man took off, but he was caught a short time later, police said.<\/p>\n

The wounded robber, 25, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was listed in good condition, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
