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

The shooting happened around 5:45 p.m. Monday in the 5500 block of West Thomas Street when Shaquille Gales approached a 58-year-old man, pulled out a gun and demanded his property, police said.<\/p>\n

The man pulled his own gun and fired at Gales, hitting him in the back of the head, police said. Gales was taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park and pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Police said the 58-year-old man had a concealed carry permit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Hood County, Texas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

When a knife-wielding man forced his way into a pregnant woman\u2019s home near Lake Granbury early Monday, the woman and her dog fought back — and won, according to the Hood County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old woman, who is 35 weeks pregnant and lives in an unincorporated area north of Granbury, told deputies that she heard a knock at the door around 6 a.m. When the woman opened the door, a man brandishing a knife forced his way in.<\/p>\n

The Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a news release that the woman struck the suspect on the head with a flower vase. Her dog rushed into the room and bit the suspect on his left thigh and chased him out of the home.<\/p>\n

The woman suffered several superficial cuts on her arms and stomach but was not seriously injured.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Tallulah, Louisiana<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Investigators say two suspects, identified as Corey McGowan and Robert Freeman, tried to rob Virgil Barnes. The suspects knocked on the door and Barnes let them in.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the suspects were armed. So was Barnes. The men exchanged gunfire. Barnes shot Freeman, who died at the scene.
\nMcGowan was arrested and is being held at the Madison parish detention center.<\/p>\n

McGowan is charged with attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, and home invasion. He is being held without bond.<\/p>\n

Virgil Barnes survived the encounter with the intruders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Hernando, Mississippi<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Law enforcement officials believe they may have solved a spate of weekend armed robberies at automated teller machines (ATMs) along Goodman Road in Horn Lake after an early morning chase and fatal shooting of a suspect.<\/p>\n

A Horn Lake Police investigator, working on a hunch, was at the Regions Bank ATM location near Highway 51 and Goodman shortly before 5 a.m. Monday morning when he was approached by a black male and who brandished a weapon.<\/p>\n

The investigator identified himself as a police officer, according to District Attorney John Champion at a news conference later Monday morning, and the suspect then fled into a darkish-gray to black-colored Impala, struck a police car in leaving the scene and headed east on Goodman Road.<\/p>\n

Three other officers who were working surveillance with the investigator gave chase, along with the investigator in his unmarked car. However, the suspect\u2019s vehicle spun out while the pursuit was on near Sutton Place, a short distance away from the attempted robbery. That was followed by one of the pursuing police cars striking the suspect\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n

Champion said after he stopped, the suspect pulled out a gun and fired at the officers who then returned fire and fatally shot the suspect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
