Tuesday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us our morning feel good story to enjoy with our coffee and muffin, this time from Louisiana, where a burglar followed the homeowner’s friend back into the house from her car;
“She walked back in the house and like probably three to five minutes after she walked back in the house, here come this dude running in my house with like something wrapped around his face,” says the homeowner.
The pregnant homeowner says she was also with her four children and her 29-year-old boyfriend, who was cleaning the bathroom, when the suspect came running though her front door, brandishing a gun and demanding money.
“He was coming out of the bathroom. So, he put a gun to his [the homeowner’s boyfriend’s] head and after that he was tussling for the gun, tussling for the gun and after that all I heard was gun shots. So, I hurry up and ran. I got my children and took them out of the house,” says the homeowner.
The homeowner says once everyone in the house was sure the suspect was dead, her friend began rummaging through his [the alleged armed robber’s] pockets.
“I say ‘what you going into his pockets for?’ I said ‘get on the phone and call the ambulance.’ [My friend was saying] ‘uh, I got this, I got this.'” I said ‘just get on the phone and call the ambulance,'” says the homeowner.
Now the homeowner, who is choosing to not give out her name, says she fears retaliation following the fatal shooting of the suspect in her home.

There was another one in Texas yesterday, too;
A man suspected of breaking into a home on the 5300 block of Greenbriar Monday morning was shot by the homeowner and taken to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
Police say evidence points to the suspect breaking in through the back of house and being shot in the abdomen by the homeowner at around 10:30 a.m.
At the time, police believed there to be a second suspect, prompting a search of the Country Club golf course. A K-9 unit was requested, but that request was later canceled after police determined there was not a second suspect.

Thank goodness the homeowner and family are ok (first story). This could have gone SO wrong.
The “suspected” burglar in the second story has since died and the local DA is not inclined to prosecute at this point. I find it interesting that the local paper lists the homeowner’s criminal record (tampering with records), but not the dead man’s.
