Monday morning feel good story

UpNorth sends us this morning’s feel good story to enjoy with your coffee and muffin. This one is from Minnesota where young Gypsy Watt attempted to turn his life around in 75-year-old Charles Carlson’s home with some of Charles’ medication;

Police say the men, who were just out of jail, when they broke into 75-year-old Charles Carlson’s home, on Fox Road near Sandstone. Both men have long criminal histories, and one had a gun.

Carlson struggled with the intruder and managed to grab his own gun. He shot one of the intruders, Watts, who died at the scene.

Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole tells KSTP that Watts, along with the teen, went to Carlson’s farm to steal his painkillers that he takes for pain associated with his terminal cancer.

The teen escaped and was arrested hours later behind a flower shop in downtown Sandstone. Two others were questioned and released.

Carlson is cooperating with investigators and is not likely to face legal consequences. The Sheriff says the shooting is believed to be a justified use of force.

Yeah, don’t mess with old people – we’ll kill you. Dead.
