Saturday morning feel good stories
Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories to start the weekend. The first is from Missouri;
Police say around 4 a.m. Friday, a man reported two men broke into his home on N. Travis and he had been shot.
Springfield Police Department’s Major Manlove says the man inside the home believes he may have shot one of the intruders.
Manlove also noted a man entered a local hospital just after 5 a.m. with a gunshot wound. Police are working to determine if the incident is connected to the home invasion.
Yes, they even happen in California; where Santa Rosa jewelry store owner Ty Visscher was forced to defend his employees;
“To come in so aggressively,” he recounted, “no care in the world but to take something for the dollar, and not caring about peoples lives, it’s traumatic.”
“He jumped over the counter, grabbed her by the hair, then the shootout began,” explained Bob Oropeza, who’s wife works at Bennett Vallley Jewelry. She was there when store manager Suzanne Dodd was struck in the arm by a bullet.
“They started shooting and Ty started shooting, and it was a real live shootout; unbelievable,” said Oropeza.
At that point, Visscher chased the robbers from the store, and firing from the doorway, hit one of them twice. The suspect fell to the ground and an off-duty cop at a neighboring restaurant ran outside to keep him there.

Take over home invasions and robberies are among the worst to experience. Good job on the jewelry store owner’s behalf. I’ll bet with that car being stolen out of Livermoore and the same store being hit twice or more in the past, they either knew about the store secondhand (California Gladiator Academy) or scouted it out long before. Abandoning the car and not being found tells me, they had a getaway plan in lace and ready to roll when it got there.
The poor guy in the jewelery store will probably go to jail for shooting the puke in the back…
California libs, ya just gotta love ’em…
