Saturday morning feel good stories
Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories for the start of your weekend. The first is from North Carolina;
Deputies said 28-year-old Paige Ham heard a noise at the back of her home and saw a lock was missing from a storage building out in the backyard.
Ham had a roommate call 911 and went out with a gun to see if anything was stolen.
That’s when 28-year-old Christopher Todd Brogden allegedly rushed out of the building towards her.
Ham fired her gun, hitting Brogden. He was last reported in stable condition at Vidant Hospital in Greenville.
THe next story is from Texas;
Police said a 22-year-old man met officers outside his apartment and told them about the shooting.
Officers found the suspect wounded on the floor inside. He died before he got to the hospital.
One or two other intruders escaped and are still on the run.
Police are interviewing the apartment resident and trying to identify the dead suspect.
The last story is from California;
Fresno County Sheriff’s Office investigators were piecing together the homicide investigation late Thursday morning. They said at this point, it appears the victims fired back at the suspects during a very violent home invasion. In the process, one of the suspects was shot and killed during the gun battle.
Investigators say the incident started around 4 a.m. on Thursday morning when deputies were called out to a house on the 5100 block of Orange Avenue. Deputies said they arrived to find a very chaotic scene. The residents and suspects were involved in a shootout and during the exchange, a 15-year-old girl was taken by the suspects.
“When the shootout was going on, they actually grabbed her — took her. She was in one of the vehicles… she has since been located and she is back with her family,”

The family whose home was being broken into was apparently in possession of some significant amount of pot, which is what the attackers were actually after. I’m glad the family fought back, I’m glad the girl was returned safely, but the parents are culpable in this as well.
