John sends us a story from St. George, Utah<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a deputy was in trouble, and I just acted,\u201d said 70-year-old Sherry King, the woman who courageously intervened in a potentially life-threatening struggle between an officer and a suspect in Beaver Dam, Arizona, earlier this year.<\/p>\n

King was presented with a \u201cLifesaving Award\u201d by Mohave County Sheriff Doug Schuster in Kingman, Arizona, Monday for her role in helping stop a man who was allegedly trying to pull a gun from a deputy.<\/p>\n

The incident triggered a multiagency manhunt after the suspect, 34-year-old Darren Bruce Boone, fled the scene when King fired a warning shot into the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he had got the deputy\u2019s gun, there would be somebody dead,\u201d King told St. George News.<\/p>\n

Mohave County Sheriff\u2019s Office is crediting King with saving the life of deputy Jeff Davis.<\/p>\n

King recalled the morning of the incident, April 27, in an interview with St. George News. She was watering the plants outside her business, Little Dam Car Lot, when Boone pulled in to ask her when a nearby body shop would open.<\/p>\n

Moments later, Davis pulled into the lot and asked to see Boone\u2019s driver\u2019s license. When Boone became uncooperative, King said the deputy told him he was under arrest.<\/p>\n

After the deputy partially cuffed him, King said Boone pushed the deputy away and walked back toward his car. At that point, Davis attempted to deploy his Taser, but Boone allegedly grabbed it from him.<\/p>\n

King said Boone\u2019s next move triggered her involvement in the struggle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe reached around toward the deputy\u2019s gun, and I just jumped him,\u201d she said.

Boone then shoved her to the ground, King said, at which point she fired a warning shot into the air, which sent the suspect running toward a nearby wash.<\/p>\n

King said she wasn\u2019t hurt in the struggle, but she was miffed about one thing. \u201cIt got my new shoes dirty, and I was really mad about that,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t mess with my shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone later turned himself in after a manhunt ensued for his capture. He was charged with aggravated assault on an officer and resisting arrest with physical force, both felonies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Sheriff\u2019s officials said the four men forced themselves into a home on County Road 465 near Ben Bolt area while a family was asleep.<\/p>\n

The homeowner was awaken and noticed the men putting on black masks and pulling out weapons. That\u2019s when he put his family members in a closet for safety. The owner shot at the suspects and a shooting ensued.<\/p>\n

One of the bullets hit a headboard in one of the bedrooms where a child was sleeping.<\/p>\n

The suspects took off in their vehicle and within moments crashed the vehicle they were in near a cement company off South Highway 281. The individuals walked to the cement company and attempted to steal a truck as the watch person at the company was awaken. In the process, the men removed cameras and DVRs from the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe investigators, within 12 hours, had the suspects in custody,\u201d said Sheriff Daniel Bueno. \u201cThis type of criminal activity will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials with US Marshals assistance are looking for Chapa. Sheriff\u2019s officials said anyone harboring a fugitive could be charged and arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will come after you,\u201d Bueno said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Wichita, Kansas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Wichita police released more information regarding a deadly officer-involved shooting which ended with a suspect dead and an off-duty officer injured.<\/p>\n

Police say around 3:17 a.m., near 21st and Maize Road, a masked intruder came into the officer’s home through an unlocked door. He was armed with a handgun.<\/p>\n

The suspect shot the officer in the leg, and the officer returned fire with his service weapon. The suspect was hit several times.<\/p>\n

Both men were transported to the hospital. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old, Christian T. Webb, died from his injuries. The officer has since been treated and released.<\/p>\n

The officer\u2019s wife and two children were inside the home during the incident. They were not hurt.<\/p>\n

Police say the firearm [Christian T. Webb] used during the incident was stolen. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Douglas County, Colorado<\/a>;<\/p>\n

According to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, authorities there were notified of a carjacking that happened in El Paso County around 2 p.m. The suspect, a 29-year-old man, drove the stolen vehicle into the Pike National Forest while shooting at passing vehicles.<\/p>\n

He ultimately stopped the vehicle and approached a camper. Deputies say that began a confrontation, and the suspect pointed a rifle at the camper, who returned fire, hitting the suspect multiple times.<\/p>\n

When deputies arrived on scene, medical help was requested to treat the suspect and take him to an area hospital. He’s considered stable.<\/p>\n

No other citizens were injured. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
