That&#8217;s when police say Friend pulled out a pistol he was carrying and shot Gonzales in the stomach. The other two suspects fled the scene and dropped a starter pistol on their way.<\/p>\n<p>After Gonzales went down, Friend helped citizens who were rendering aid to the suspect before the ambulance got on scene.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzales was taken to Skyline Medical Center and has since been released. Gonzales is being held on a $36,000 bond. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksdk.com\/article\/news\/crime\/i-would-do-it-again-former-marine-shoots-robber-in-his-backyard\/63-552885815\">St Louis, Missouri<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A former Marine catches a group of thieves in the act, and doesn&#8217;t let them get away with it. It happened Monday night in the Benton Park West neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Luigi Giovanni said he believes one of the thieves jumped the fence and started examining his bikes.<\/p>\n<p>He said he was playing a video game at the time but noticed some movement outdoors on his surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I just happened to look up and that\u2019s when I saw two guys coming over the fence,&#8221; said Giovanni.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance cameras show what happened next. Luigi said he grabbed his pistol, ran outside and found one of the thieves standing by the fence.<\/p>\n<p>Luigi said he fired first, but then claims the thief returned fire. The video doesn&#8217;t clearly show the thief firing back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right there behind the tree. Right when he was standing by the tree is when he fired. He shot real quick and then I shot back at them and he took off,&#8221; Giovanni explains.<\/p>\n<p>The episode didn&#8217;t stop there. Later Monday night, Luigi discovered his 8&#215;5 trailer, along with a motorized quad bike, was stolen from his driveway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t understand why they picked us, why they picked us to do it,&#8217; said Giovanni.<\/p>\n<p>Luigi said his cameras didn&#8217;t clearly pick up the trailer being stolen, but he suspects the same group was behind it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The quad runner is not very important to me, it\u2019s the trailer that I really value and cherish,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cherished because the trailer was a gift from his dying uncle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Nashville, Tennessee; Police say store clerk Zane Friend, 58, was confronted by Gonzales and two &hellip; <a title=\"Friday morning feel good stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=79498\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Friday 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-79498","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\/79498","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=79498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79498\/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=79498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
