Sunday morning feel good story

Chief Tango sends us our feel good story this morning, this time it’s from Houston, and it happened when a homeowner heard noises at his front door late Friday night.

The resident’s father spoke to Local 2 and said his son was sleeping when the intruders came knocking and tried to break in.

“They woke him up” he said. “He peeked out the peephole and he didn’t recognize who the guys was.”

A neighbor said the men tried to pry the door open.

“They used a crow bar,” Gakayla Render said. “He saw the gun come around the corner and he started firing.”

Render said everyone who lives at the apartment complex is talking about how the tenant was targeted. They believe the would-be robbers were after money. The say the man who lives in the complex has successful parents who provide him with nice things.

“It’s a motive,” she said. “You have other young guys who see them and they’re envious and they want that, they want to be part of that or they want to have that.”

The next one is also from Texas and similar circumstances;

Officials tell NewsWest 9, dispatchers received a call around 9 a.m. in reference to a burglary in progress and shots fire in the 16000 block of West Interstate 20 on Thursday.

When deputies arrived on the scene, officials found 37-year-old James Fulkerson with a gunshot wound to his lower leg.

The wound was superficial.

Authorities said Fulkerson was arrested and charged with attempted burglary. He was also booked on an unrelated outstanding warrant out of Mitchell County.
