Tuesday morning feel good story

This morning’s short feel good story comes from Missouri;

Police say the bandit, armed with a gun, walked into the BP gas station near South Grand and Arsenal and demanded money.

The clerk also had a gun and shot the robber twice, once in each leg.

The robber is hospitalized pending charges.

Here’s a bonus story of a Nashua, NH store clerk who chased off a thief who told him the clerk that he was armed and the clerk responded with a pipe. As the thief left, the clerk got his license plate number;

Chief Tango sends a story from Michigan;

Jessica Abels, who lives near the spot on Cronk Avenue near Illinois Avenue where the woman was found walking bloodied and naked, said she looked out the window when she heard a woman screaming for help around 2 p.m. Sept. 26.

She saw the woman jump out the window of a nearby vacant home, she said.

“Her eyes were all swollen and she had blood all over her and in her mouth,” Abels said. “She was pretty messed up.”

That’s when the community jumped into action.

Several area residents offered the 21-year-old woman clothing and comfort while a man who holds a valid concealed pistols license ordered the suspect out of the house at gunpoint, according to Flint police.

The man took off running but was chased down by the gun-wielding citizen who, with the help of an undercover auto theft police officer, tackled and held him down until police arrived.
