Monday morning feel good stories

Chief Tango sends us our first feel good story for the work week from Michigan where a clerk created an ammo shortage all by himself;

Video first shows the suspect, who was wearing dark clothes and a ski mask, stealing from the register.
Police say he held up the clerk with a revolver and ordered him to the back room, where he loaded cigarettes into a bag.

Police say that’s when the clerk fired ten times at the suspect, as he was running away.

“There were ten shots fired all from the clerk himself, the suspect did not return fire,” says Lieutenant Jon Gale with the Norton Shores Police Department.

Police say it’s not clear if the suspect was hit.

The next story comes from Texas and doesn’t involve a friendly gun, but has a happy ending;

[Mayura Dissanyake] was behind the counter when he noticed his co-worker returning to the store after a run to the bank.

Dissanyake saw two men jump out of an SUV and attack his co-worker. They were trying to grab the bank bag he was carrying.

The store’s surveillance cameras were recording as Dissanayake ran outside and kicked one of the alleged robbers in the face.

“The first guy I saw, I just kicked him in the face,” he said. “Then I punched the other guy.”

They were moves he learned from cage matches. Dissanyake has been involved with mixed martial arts for more than a decade. He says he was the national champion for five consecutive years in his native Sri Lanka.

Jabatam sends us a story from Indianapolis;

Police responded to the 3100 block of North College Avenue around 1 p.m. When they arrived, they found the homeowner had shot and killed an intruder, said police.

Neighbors told FOX59 the shooting should serve as a reminder that homeowners will defend themselves against criminals.
