Tuesday morning feel good stories

The first feel good story comes from Columbus, Georgia, near the Home of the Infantry;

[Lt. Consuelo Askew] said that three men and a woman forced their way into a house at the 1143 location. At least one was armed.

A resident heard his wife screaming, grabbed a gun and came down the hallway shooting.

“He feared for his life,” Askew said.

Askew said the suspects ran from the house.

One suspect was shot and found in the yard at the 1244 Clubhouse Road.

He was taken to Midtown Medical Center and is now out of surgery.

Another suspect was taken into custody.

The second story comes from Mississippi;

A Jackson man was dead early Saturday in what police said is a case of a business owner defending his property.

Police said the business owner shot and killed Jamie Rose as he was trying to break into First Line Automotive on Highway 80 and Gault Street.

Thanks to Chief Tango for the links.

Here’s one from David that happened in Texas;

The male homeowner told Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s deputies that he heard the doorbell ring several times and looked out a window but didn’t see anyone.

When he heard his three dogs barking like mad, he stepped into the upstairs hallway with a hockey stick to see what was going on and saw a strange man coming up the stairs, investigators said.

By that point the female homeowner had joined him at the top of the stairs in the Glenn Loch Farms subdivision home.

“The burglary suspect found himself in the middle of three mad dogs and a homeowner armed with a hockey stick,” Assistant Chief Mark Herman of the constable’s office said in a statement. “The suspect probably made a good decision and surrendered until deputy constables arrived.”

Once the deputies arrived, Chapman was arrested immediately, authorities said.
