From Boynton Beach, Florida<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Around one clock this morning Holly Ernst\u2019s phone lit up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked over and it actually said motion detected on courtyard,\u201d said Holly Ernst. She checked out her security camera system. She did not see the typical raccoon or cat, instead, she saw an intruder in her family\u2019s backyard.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is looking to see is there anything loose, and of value to take, definitely up to no good,\u201d said Holly Ernst. So she rushed over to tell her husband, Dean Ernst.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said there\u2019s somebody on our back porch,\u201d said Holly. \u201cI am ready to protect not only myself but any innocent bystander as well,\u201d said Dean. \u201cSo up gun in hand, he rushed out the backdoor,\u201d said Holly.<\/p>\n

After taking a few steps out the door and just feet away from the couple\u2019s kayaks, life vests, and lawnmower, Dean Ernst spotted Canson St. Fort. \u201cI pretty much told him, don\u2019t move a muscle, I have a gun aimed at your head,\u201d said Dean.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart was racing out of my chest of course, I\u2019m crying,\u201d said Holly. She was on the phone with police, while David commanded St Fort to get on the ground. \u201cWhat am I going to do if he jumps up and rushes at me, I might have to shoot this guy,\u201d said Dean, recounting the event. After four minutes, which seemed like hours, Boynton Beach Police arrived and took St. Fort away in cuffs. Then the couple, happy to be alive and safe, embraced. \u201cWe were up until about 4:45am just holding each other, life is short,\u201d said Holly.<\/p>\n

St. Fort is in jail charged with burglary. The Ernst couple credit their surveillance system and the second amendment for his arrest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Apple Valley, California<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Two burglary suspects in Apple Valley early Saturday morning were stopped by armed neighbors.<\/p>\n

The men were trying to break into a home which hasn\u2019t been occupied since its previous owner passed away. A neighbor noticed something wasn\u2019t right and after calling 911, confronted the thieves with a handgun.

The neighbor shot the tires on the suspect\u2019s vehicle and the ground, keeping the suspects detained until deputies arrived. Another neighbor heard the gunshots and arrived at the residence armed with a shotgun.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeems like they might have tried to hop in the car and drive away,\u201d said neighbor Eric Rhinehart. \u201cHe did shoot some shots into the car to prevent the vehicle from leaving, and it didn\u2019t leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

When sheriff\u2019s deputies arrived, they arrested 31-year-old Justin Elder and 59-year-old David Turner. They found evidence that the Apple Valley men had burglarized the same home just a couple months ago.<\/p>\n

Neighbors say it is the type of area where people look out for each other and that\u2019s why this pair of thieves was caught.<\/p>\n

Stepping up may have consequences. The Victor Valley Sheriff\u2019s Department says the neighbor could face charges for reckless discharge of a firearm. Other neighbors say that\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

The Sheriff\u2019s Department says they\u2019re just submitting a report on the shots that were fired and it\u2019ll be up to the District Attorney\u2019s Office whether to file any charges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
