From Brooklyn, NY<\/a><\/p>\n

An off-duty police officer shot a robber in the face in Brooklyn Thursday morning, said police.<\/p>\n

A cop shot the man who tried to rob him near the corner of Livonia and New Jersey avenues at about 4:55 a.m., police said.<\/p>\n

The would-be robber, a man in his 20s, was rushed to Brookdale Hospital in serious but stable condition and the police officer was treated for ringing in his ears at Methodist Hospital, said police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hate that ringing in the ears, but statistics have shown that criminals will stop what they are doing when shot in the face.<\/p>\n

An 80-year old homeowner asked News 4 not to reveal his identity but he said he returned home recently to find clues that someone had been in and around his house. The first clue he saw was a garden hose stretched across the driveway and\u00a0was turned on. His wife also suspected someone was inside the house.\u00a0“She heard the door open, she said something but nobody answered.\u00a0And when she came to come out the back door, the deadbolt lock was locked on the inside,” he said.<\/p>\n

The man didn’t wait for police, he\u00a0grabbed a handgun and started searching the house himself. When he looked in\u00a0the basement he saw more clues someone had been in the home.”Well I had to reach in and turn a light on under the steps and that was a little bit concerning but I did it. When I stepped inside he was really on his knees. I guess when I turned that light on he was starting to get up,” said the homeowner. The man said he checked the burglar\u00a0to make sure he wasn’t armed and then marched him outside to wait for police. The homeowner’s 53-year-old son was outside and on the phone with a police dispatcher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note to my sons: If I live to be 80 and a burglar is in my house…I better not find your ass sitting out in the yard on your damn phone.<\/p>\n

Mr. Davenport directed the intruder to crawl to the front yard and started calling for help. Either he didn\u2019t feel comfortable reaching for his cell\u00a0phone, or (more likely) he didn\u2019t happen to be surgically attached to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe started pleading, \u2018I just wanted some water, please sir, let me go, I\u2019ll never come back,\u2019\u201d said Mr. Davenport. But he didn\u2019t feel like playing catch-and-release. \u201cI just got mad. You don\u2019t get to come in my house.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fortunately, it wasn\u2019t long before a jogger came across the situation and was able to help, using her telephone to\u00a0call\u00a09-1-1 and also (since it\u2019s 2018) snap a\u00a0glamour\u00a0shot\u2026err,\u00a0gather photographic evidence<\/em>\u00a0of Mr. Davenport and the perp.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why do they always get thirsty?<\/p>\n

Police in Indiana believe a pet pig might’ve thwarted would-be robbers from burglarizing a home in Indianapolis.The thieves broke into the home this week and “completely damaged [the back] door,” the homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous, told\u00a0Fox 59<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
Whoever broke in, however, didn’t steal anything, and police apparently suggested the family’s pet pig, named Dumplin, is to blame.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“The officers were guessing when the person broke in they were probably surprised I had a pig and were like, ‘We don’t want to deal with this,'” the single mother of four said. “The cop was like we definitely think they got in and made it to where Dumplin was and thought, ‘Nope. We don’t want no part of this.'”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The woman told the news station she adopted Dumplin from a rescue last year, calling him the “perfect animal.”<\/p>\n

“The moment I saw him I knew he loved me instantly,” she said, encouraging others to adopt the “tons of pigs in shelters that don’t have homes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
