From Somers, New York<\/a>, a retired police officer encountered an intruder in his home;<\/p>\n

Leggio retreated back upstairs and grabbed his gun, which is equipped with a green laser sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put [the laser] right on his chest and said, \u2018Who do you know?\u2019\u201d Leggio said.<\/p>\n

The man reportedly asked for a friend named \u201cSean,\u201d and Leggio responded, \u201cYou have the wrong house.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight away I knew he wasn\u2019t violent, so to speak,\u201d Leggio said. \u201cI was able to make that quick decision, because obviously I\u2019m trained. But he\u2019s still a threat, he\u2019s still in my house, he still had a [pocket knife] on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leggio ordered the man to put his hands on his head and walk slowly, backwards, toward the front door. Once outside, he ordered the man to throw down his knife and his wallet. Using an old set of handcuffs, Leggio detained the man until police arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it seems like he came into the wrong home, technically, he came into the right home,\u201d Leggio said. \u201cHad he went into someone else\u2019s home, they could have shot him. He\u2019s lucky.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Henrico, Virginia<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Police say officers responded to the 8800 block of Three Chopt Road for a shooting. When they arrived, two men with gunshot wounds were located. Both were transported to the hospital. Taivon Maquell Fox, 19, died from his injuries. <\/p>\n

Police say one of the tenants at the apartment shot Fox and the other suspect. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Nova Scotia, Canada<\/a>, burglars were nice enough to bring guns for the law-abiding residents to shoot one of the crooks;<\/p>\n

[Police] reported that after three men with firearms had entered a home, two male victims struggled with them. A firearm was seized by the victims and several shots were fired. The suspects then fled.<\/p>\n

A 25-year-old male was treated for non-life threatening injuries and is in police custody. The other two suspects have not been found.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Palestine, Texas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Officers made contact with Carlos Scott, 33, who had a gunshot wound to the foot. Witnesses on the scene claimed a homeowner shot Scott after Scott threatened the homeowner and aggressively charged him. An officer, who is trained emergency medical technician, attempted to treat Scott\u2019s injury, but Scott spat on the officer.<\/p>\n

Scott was arrested for Public Intoxication and Harassment of a Public Servant. Scott had his injuries treated at Palestine Regional Medical Center and was later transported to Anderson County Jail. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
