Wednesday morning feel good story

Today’s feel good story comes from Illinois;

Two suspects entered the Calumet City Bakery 154th and State Line Rd around 3:30 pm Tuesday. One suspected walked into the store on his cell phone then signaled to the second suspect who walked in behind him.

The first suspect brandished a gun and announced a robbery.

The clerk hands over the cash but then the suspect forced her to the back of the store where the owner was waiting. The owner had seen everything on closed-circuit TV.

The owner shot the suspect seven times.

The suspects fled. The wounded suspect was found a block away in his car. It was discovered he had been holding a toy gun.

I guess it’s a criminal version of rock/paper/scissors and real gun beats a toy every time.

Chief Tango sends another one from Indiana;

Jacob Grimes, 23, of Paoli, Indiana, broke into a residence in the 7000 block of South County Road 700 East in Hardinsburg at around 1 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Detective Craig Starr.

Officials say that the home’s owners, who are brothers, heard Grimes enter the home and moved their elderly mother into a bedroom as a safety precaution.

Police say the two brothers went and searched the home in an effort to locate an intruder. Their search initially turned up nothing. Police say the two men then went to retrieve tools to fix a door that had been damaged during the break-in. Investigators say it was when one of the brothers went into the home’s basement, that he encountered Grimes.

Officials say Grimes punched the victim and the two men became involved in a physical altercation.

The other brother heard the fight from another room. Police say he went into the room and saw that Grimes was armed with a knife and fighting with his brother. Police say the man then shot Grimes with a handgun; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
