Thursday morning feel good story
Once again, we get our feel good story this morning from Chief Tango. This time it’s from Missouri;
Authorities said the two students left Northeast High School Wednesday morning and tried to break into a home near Brighton and Thompson. The burglars had broken into the resident’s liquor cabinet, as well as taken some boxes of ammunition.
The resident at the home reportedly shot one of the teens in the ankle. The two fled the scene and returned to school, where they were taken into custody, police said.
The second story also comes from Missouri;
The attempted robbery was about 10:50 a.m. at the Family Pharmacy at 225 Cross Creek Boulevard, off Missouri 76 east of Branson. Employees said a man pointed a handgun at them and demanded pills. An employee armed with his own handgun confronted the robber and fired one shot at him.
The wannabe robber fled and fired several shots as he ran from the store. He fled westbound in a vehicle, which employees described to a 9-1-1 emergency call-taker.
Taney County sheriff’s deputies started looking for that vehicle. A deputy drove through the Academy Commons Apartment Complex on East Missouri 76 and met a vehicle matching the description of the robber’s vehicle. He immediately stopped the vehicle and arrested the man who was driving and a female passenger.
It turned out the man had a gunshot wound to the left side of his torso.

Have those students been suspended form school? I hope so.
AS TO the pharmacy thief, I do wish reporters would stop using words like ‘torso’. That is SO coy and childish. Are they afraid to say ‘rib cage’ or ‘left side’ or that nasty word ‘butt’ live on TV?
I’m not sure they even know what a ‘torso’ is. It has more than one syllable to it.
More likely it’s ignorance of where the guy was actually shot… cops’ briefings are normally pretty short of solid info, and the reporters make the least of it.
