Wednesday morning feel good stories
Amy sends us our first feel good story this morning from Texas where a group of fellows approached security at a bar who happened to be off-duty cops;
The group of victims claimed they were all robbed at gunpoint nearby. At first, the off-duty officers couldn’t find the suspects.
However, one victim came back with the suspect’s truck description and license plate. Then the officers got in their car, drove around the neighborhood, noticed cars vandalized and found the suspect’s truck sitting in the 1100 block of Oliver.
Police heard a woman scream and saw the suspects running. Despite warnings from officers to stop, both suspects got in their truck.
Police say the driver revved his engine and started driving toward one of the officers. That is when he decided to open fire. His partner, who was off to the side, also opened fire on the suspects.
The second story sent by Chief Tango comes from Louisiana;
According to police, a 22-year-old man was shot in the leg after someone broke into the home. The victim told police that the man entered the home through a back window.
Officials say the victim managed to return gunfire, but it is unknown whether or not the suspect was injured.

One more from Chief Tango happened in Florida;
Detectives say Saturday morning around 6 a.m. [Michael T. White] was wandering from house to house in the area of Loop Road and Saddle Creek Road, entering residents’ porches and yards.
At one home, one resident saw him and told him to leave the yard. He then started swinging a chain, saying he was a “prophet and could talk to animals,” and that “this was the time of Revelations,” according to the sheriff’s office.
White then approached the porch, and the homeowner pulled a handgun and told him to leave, and he did, the sheriff’s office said.
At another home, a resident saw him just outside the porch and yelled at him to leave.
“Terrifying, terrifying. I mean, we’re older people,” the homeowner said. “I said get the F off my property.”
White responded that he “belonged” on the property because his sister was the “Lord of the Estate.” He said “his sister was a witch and burned at the stake on the property so it belonged to him,” the sheriff’s office said.
The homeowner got a shotgun and ordered him off the property. White then pulled a 12.5-inch, double-bladed dagger from his waistband, and threw it through the screen porch at the resident.
That’s when the resident, Paul Ring, fired his gun at White, striking him in the arm.

Two comments:
1-More range time (seriously! How do you MISS with a shotgun?)
2-Enough gun
‘Nuff said.
Seriously? “A double bladed dagger” You deserved to get shot for carrying such an absurd weapon to begin with. Obviously disturbed and in need of mental care.
Best way to counter a double bladed dagger is with a double barred shotgun
