Sunday morning feel good stories

Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories this morning. The first is from Illinois;

The 34-year-old female resident reported that when she returned home, she noticed damage to her front door which she assumed was caused by a burglar.

When the resident entered the condo, she allegedly found an unknown male/white subject in her bedroom. She fired a shot at him and held him at gunpoint until police arrived. The man was later identified as Noah I. Perlman, 33, of 140 W. Wood St. Apt. 205.

According to Palatine police, the female resident noticed that Perlman had a hammer and large screwdriver in his hands. The resident then retrieved her legally-owned handgun and confronted him.
She stated that she feared for her life as she fired her weapon once — missing the alleged intruder.

The next story comes from Oklahoma;

Cathy Kouba’s home security system alarm jolted her awake Thursday night. She said she realized someone was trying to kick in her back door.

“I have a daughter that’s handicapped and she was asleep on the bottom floor,” Kouba said. “And so for the fear of her being hurt, motherly instincts kick in and, you know, I worked hard for what I’ve got. And you’re not going to come and take it away from me.”

Kouba said she grabbed the gun her son gave her for Mother’s Day and ran out the front door to confront the intruder out back.

“[I cocked the gun], saw that the door had broke down, then I saw him hitting over the fence and head to the creek,” Kouba said.

Kouba said she fired and thinks she hit him in his backside. Adding insult to injury, the intruder got tangled in her electric fence before escaping.

“[The police] didn’t get him but, you know, I’m sure he’s going to end up in the hospital somewhere. I mean, he’s got buckshot in his butt, I’m sure he’s going to,” she said.

Kouba said the intruder left a blood trail behind for police, who she said were also able to get footprints off the door.
