Armed man in street leads to fatal shooting in Delta Township

There are more details being released as the investigation into a fatal shooting in Delta Township continues.

The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office is saying they received several reports of a man standing in the middle of West Saginaw Highway in the area of the 6500 block. The calls said the man had fired a handgun several times and was pointing his gun at cars driving by.

Investigators say a 22-year-old Delta Township man was driving east and stopped near Brookside Drive when the gunman stepped in front of his vehicle. The gunman pointed his handgun at the driver, who stepped out of his vehicle, pulled his own handgun, which he is licensed to carry and shot the gunman.

That man, a 26-year-old who is believed to be from suburban Grand Rapids, died at the scene.

One killed, one injured in west Houston apartment burglary

By Gwendolyn Wu
A suspect in a west Houston burglary was shot and killed Sunday morning, and the man who shot him is recovering at a nearby hospital as Houston police look for two other burglars who tried to steal jewelry from an apartment.

An elderly woman living at The Crossing at Old Farm apartment complex at 2500 Old Farm Road woke up to her dogs barking around 5 a.m., and found a man standing next to her bed.

The suspect jumped on top of her and zip-tied her, before letting two other men into the home and ransacking the residence for jewelry, said Houston Police Department homicide detective Alexander Vinogradov. Police said the three burglars climbed a ladder behind the apartment complex and broke in through the balcony door.

Ten minutes after the suspects came into the apartment, the woman’s son returned home and shot at the burglars. In a “wild shootout” in the hallway, the son was shot twice and one of the suspects was fatally shot, Vinogradov said.

The three suspects are believed to be under the age of 25.

Rome police investigating shots fired incident where man broke into house

The Rome Police Department is investigating a shots fired incident Sunday where a male intruder broke into a home, assaulted an occupant and was ultimately chased away by a neighbor with a shotgun, police said in a statement.

Police responded to Croton Street on Sunday to reports of a shots fired, authorities said. During the investigation police learned that a black man, wearing a facial covering and carrying a handgun, entered an upstairs bedroom by removing an air conditioning unit, authorities said.

Police said the room was occupied by an adult male, an adult woman and a three-year-old child. The intruder hit the female resident several times in the head with the gun and then began searching the house, police said.

A neighbor became aware of the incident, retrieved a shotgun and then entered the house, police said. Once inside the house, the neighbor chased the man through the home and fired one shot in his direction, authorities said.

Police said they do not believe the intruder was hit.

A few thugs in the wind today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes.
Doubt if the remaining two Houston lads will make 26, especially if they are so bold to attack in their own apartment complex. Glad the Good Samaritan neighbor showed up, but he needs to learn a shottie isn’t a magic death ray, and it has to be aimed to be effective.
I know, everyone’s a critique, few know this better than me, but at least I could provide a reasonable number of FGS articles this morning.
