Wednesday morning feel good stories

So, here are your last feel good stories of the year, brought to you by Chief Tango. The first is from South Carolina;

“A man wearing a hooded camouflage jacket, blue jeans, gloves and a bandana over his face entered the convenience store, pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money,” Horry County Police said in a press release.

The man left the store with the money from the register, $230, and was followed out of the store by one of the customers.

A customer, who saw the robbery while behind some shelves in an aisle of the store, had a Glock 22 .40 caliber handgun in a holster that was concealed under his jacket.

“The customer who followed the robber out of the store … ordered the robber to stop. According to witnesses, the robber and the customer exchanged gunfire in the street in front of the store,” police said.

The customer, who had a North Carolina concealed weapons permit, fired at least 5 shots at the robber, police said in a report. The robber fired 6 shots, according to a witness, police said.

Both the customer and robber missed each other and apparently hit nothing in the shoot out, police said.

Dude. Range time. Please. For the safety of the rest of us.

The second story comes from Louisiana;

LPSO…deputies responded to Shots fired call from a business located on the 200 block of Austin Road Sunday night.

Upon arriving deputies learned from the business owner that approximately two hours prior his business was burglarized and that several guns were stolen.

Later that night the business owner, who lives near buy his business, again returned to his business to respond to another burglary alarm.

The owner says that when he arrived he was confronted by two individuals who entered a vehicle and then drove towards him striking him and the building.

The owner says at that particular time he looked into the vehicle and saw the driver produce a handgun and point it at him at which time he produced his own gun and fired several times in response.

The vehicle then fled away and was found on a nearby street moments late. At that scene deputies discovered Ladarius Walker (19) deceased in vehicle. Another suspect was located standing near the vehicle Lamar Brooks (17) suffering from one gunshot wound.

That’s shooting straight. The criminals stole guns, that they were halted makes us all safer.

Finally, from Idaho;

Bart Bryson and his family no longer live at the house of Eagle Road, but check on it about every two weeks. When Bryson pulled up to check the mail at about 11:30 p.m., he noticed fresh footprints in the snow leading to and from the front door.

The door handle also appeared broken, so Bryson headed inside to make sure everything was alright.

The intruder was still inside.

“A voice yelled at me ‘please don’t shoot me’ and came running at me, and I grabbed my pistol,” Bryson said.

The man bumped into him, knocking him back, he said. That’s when Bryson fired two shots into the floor.

“I thought, I’ll kill him if I have to, because I’m not going to get killed, and I’m not going to get knocked out either,” he said. “But the gunshot scared him enough, apparently it scared him enough that he fell down thinking maybe I shot him. I thought I had hit him, the way he hit the ground, but he was just playing possum.”

After a few seconds, Bryson asked the burglar if he was shot, and the man said no, the homeowner says.
