Police line

Chief Tango sends us our feel good story for this weekend, this time it’s from Florida where an intruder brought a baseball bat to a gun fight;

[Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office] said the homeowner retrieved a gun and fatally shot the suspect.

The intruder broke into the back of the house along Seabrook Cove Road in Arlington around 6:30 a.m.

Police said the suspect had some kind of baseball bat or stick with him and used the weapon to beat the couple before the shooting.

Another one happened yesterday in Milwaukee;

According to investigators, just after noon on Thursday, an attempted armed robbery occurred at Innovative Optique on W. Brown Deer Rd. Officers responded to a report of shots fired. When they arrived, officers determined that an attempted robbery had occurred. They found one person dead in the store.

Officials say during the course of the robbery, shots were exchanged between the armed robber and an armed employee of the store. The store employee was not hurt and the robber was fatally wounded.

The deceased is 22-year-old Joshua Drake of Milwaukee.

Drake’s father, who did not want his face on camera, told FOX6 News Joshua left their home nine months ago because the family didn’t like the direction he was heading.

While I don’t know all the circumstances, as to the Florida shooting, unless I am caught completely off guard, which the way I sleep at night and being rather, hyper aware of any out of place sounds, there is no way I’ll take a beating from anyone with anything. They’ll be dead long before they’re close enough to take a swing.

But, good shootin’ there Florida!
