Wednesday Feel Good Story

| October 23, 2013

Chief Tango sends us today’s feel good story from Alabama in which a youngster decided that an elderly man’s stuff could turn his life around;

Midfield police Sgt. Jesse Bell said an elderly man was asleep in his bed when he heard a noise and went to investigate. He found an intruder in his home and opened fire with a shotgun. The intruder was pronounced dead on the scene.

Authorities have not yet released his name, but said he is believed to be a 34-year-old Midfield man. “Right now our investigation shows they didn’t know each other,” Bell said.

From Fox 6, apparently the homeowner found the guy going through his refrigerator;

Haynes’ neighbor, Eddie Alexander, said Haynes owns two homes across the street from each other in Midfield. Someone kicked in the door to one of the homes this weekend, so Haynes spent Sunday night at his house across the street.

Haynes put up a chime on the outside of the house with the kicked-in door, and spent the night there on Monday. He was woken up by the sound of the bells signalling someone was inside.

Haynes spotted an intruder going through his refrigerator and shot him in the face, his neighbor said.

“I don’t blame him for doing it. He was protecting his property, protecting his home, protecting himself,” Alexander said.

Due to the rising and hard to find ammo, he could not afford two blasts in the air. Excellent job Sir. Hand Salute. Joe
