Wednesday morning feel good stories

We’ve got a couple stories for you to enjoy over your morning coffee. From Fox News, Jan Cooper, of Anaheim a 72-year-old grandmother defended her ailing husband and home from 31-year-old Brandon Alexander Perez who broke into her apartment;

During a 911 call of the incident, Cooper can be heard begging with the dispatcher to send deputies and warns that she has a gun at the ready as her Rottweiler barks furiously in the background.

Minutes later, a breathless Cooper says the man has come to the back porch and is trying to get in the house through a sliding door. Through the vertical blinds, Cooper saw his silhouette just inches away through the glass as he began to slide open the door.

“I’m firing!” Cooper shouts to the dispatcher as a loud band goes off.

Cooper then curses at the suspect, shouting at him to “back up.”

“You’d better get the police here. I don’t know whether I hit him or not. I’m not sure. He’s standing at my door, my back door. He’s in my yard,” she said.

She didn’t hit him but she stopped him from doing her harm. And he’s a guest of the taxpayers.

Across the country in Machester, NH, we get a link from Chief Tango about Michael Larocque, 24, who along with a partner kicked in the door of a resident and met his fate;

“The adult male, retrieved his handgun, he stepped out of the bedroom, as that happened, he heard someone kicking in the door, and two males then rushed inside and charged at him, and that’s when he fired his gun, and fatally wounded one of them,” said Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin.

A woman and a 3-year-old child were staying in the apartment at the time and were not hurt. The male resident suffered minor injuries.

The resident has not been arrested or charged with any crime, police said.

The Union Leader says that Larocque’s partner is still on the loose.
