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

A Vicksburg man was killed Saturday night while participating an apparent attempted home invasion at a house in the 3100 block of Valley Street, Vicksburg police Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said.<\/p>\n

Deangelo Eli Fields, 21, was declared dead at the scene by deputy Warren County coroner Kelda Bailess. His body was sent to the Mississippi State Crime Lab for an autopsy.<\/p>\n

Edwards said police responding to a call of a possible home invasion about 10 p.m. Saturday arrived to find Fields lying in the street with a gunshot wound. The homeowner said several men were trying to break into his house when Fields was shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One man is dead after a homeowner shot back during an attempted home invasion robbery in Evansville.<\/p>\n

“I was sitting in my car minding my own business,\u201d said next door neighbor Sayda Bushrod.<\/p>\n

Coker, a usually quiet street, became the scene of a fatal shooting Saturday after 46-year-old Eric Thomas came armed to a home just before noon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen out of the blue it scared me half to death these girls were screaming bloody murder across the street,\u201d said Bushrod.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the homeowner came to the door he was armed with a handgun, during the encounter he felt threatened for himself and his wife and juvenile daughter,\u201d said EPD Sgt. Jason Cullum.<\/p>\n

According to Evansville Police, the homeowner and Thomas knew each other, but it’s not confirmed how.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was some type of exchange between him and the alleged home invasion robbery suspect there was an exchange of gunfire,\u201d said Sgt. Cullum.<\/p>\n

Police arrived on scene and believe Thomas was attempting a home invasion robbery.<\/p>\n

He was shot multiple times by the homeowner and taken to a nearby hospital where he later died.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Salt Lake City, Utah<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The Wyoming Highway Patrol is praising an Iraq War veteran for his role in apprehending a suspect and helping a trooper who was in danger of being shot.<\/p>\n

Trucker Darren Phillips of Taylorsville, Utah, pulled over after seeing an altercation between a trooper and a suspect Thursday near Green River, Wyoming, about 140 miles northeast of Salt Lake City. <\/p>\n

\u201cI put my brakes on, and I jump out. And by this time, the trooper is on his back and the guy is on top of him,” Phillips told KSL-TV, Salt Lake City. “The trooper saw me running over and as soon as I got up to him, he says, \u2018He\u2019s going for my gun.’ ”<\/p>\n

Phillips put the suspect in a chokehold. A Facebook post from the TV station quotes Phillips: It was the “craziest thing” he’s ever done despite serving two tours in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Phillips said his training in the Marines and Army National Guard helped him subdue the man and pull him off the trooper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
