At about the same time, a woman came up to officers and said her child&#8217;s father had beat her.<\/p>\n<p>During that assault, the woman told police she grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the man several times. <\/p>\n<p>Police say the man ran off and forced his way into second apartment.  That is where police found him.  EMSA took the man to the hospital. Police say he was treated for non-life threatening injuries and then arrested for the assault. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kspr.com\/content\/news\/texas-co-shooting-likely-justified-433140163.html\">Houston, Missouri<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The shooting was reported just after 9 p.m. Wednesday at a home on Missouri 32 just east of Licking. A 34-year-old man called 9-1-1 and said he shot at another man who was trying to break into his home. The caller said he didn&#8217;t know whether he hit the intruder.<\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later, the sheriff&#8217;s department received another call that a 28-year-old man was at the Licking ambulance base with a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. An ambulance took the man to a hospital, where he is recovering from his injuries. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Good news for Harry Lembo in <a href=\"http:\/\/mainepublic.org\/post\/man-wont-face-charges-shooting-apartment-intruder#stream\/0\">Rockland, Maine<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Knox County District Attorney says he&#8217;s decided not to prosecute 69-year-old Harvey Lembo, saying it would raise issues of self-defense. WABI-TV reports that Lembo shot Christopher Wildhaber in 2015 after he broke into Lembo&#8217;s apartment to rob him.<\/p>\n<p>Lembo shot Wildhaber when he tried to run away after Lembo pointed a gun at him. District Attorney Jonathan Liberman says prosecutors could not have proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt had the case gone to trial.<\/p>\n<p>Lembo bought the gun only a few days earlier after a series of break-ins at his apartment. Wildhaber was sentenced to four years in prison for burglary last July.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chief Tango sends a link from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robesonian.com\/news\/100710\/businessman-shoots-intruder\">Lumberton, North Carolina<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>G.H. Smith, 66, was working about 3 a.m. in the back of his cell phone business on North Pine Street when he heard a loud crash. The noise was made by as many as five people breaking into his store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI shouted at them \u2018Hey. What y\u2019all doing?\u2019\u201d Smith said. \u201cThe other two jumped out the window, but the other guy started this way. It was dark and there was only this night light on \u2026 I hollered at him. I thought he had a gun because he was so bold. He was bad. That\u2019s when I thought I\u2019d better stop him right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith made a conscious decision to aim his shotgun at the man\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I wasn\u2019t trying to kill him,\u201d Smith said. \u201cYou see that Bible right there, that\u2019s my mother\u2019s. Y\u2019know my mother comes in about every day and she\u2019s 84. I think if I\u2019d of taken his head off she wouldn\u2019t have come back anymore. She doesn\u2019t need that extra stress on her. That\u2019s the only thing that saved him, I think. It was a scary situation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Jeanerette, Louisiana; 23-year-old Ladarius Charles was released from Iberia Medical Center and booked into the &hellip; <a title=\"Saturday morning feel good stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73250\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Saturday 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":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-good-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73250","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=73250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73250\/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=73250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
