Friday morning feel good stories

Our first story comes from Florida this morning where two men entered (an apartment) and one came out;

Police said two masked men tried to rob an apartment that was occupied.

One of the masked men, identified as 23-year-old Taylor William Killingsworth, was shot by the resident of the apartment, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Killingsworth was found dead at the scene.

The other suspect then fled the scene. Authorities said police are still trying to find him.

The next story is also from Florida, where two guns are better than one;

According to a police report released Thursday, the homeowner said that when he answered a knock at the door just after noon, a man he didn’t know pushed through the door, pulled out a gun and said, “This is a robbery, give it up.”

Officers said a woman heard the commotion, came out of the bedroom with a gun and started shooting at the robber, who returned fire. According to the report, the woman went back into the bedroom to get a second gun, then continued to fire at the intruder.

The alleged intruder, whose name has not been released, was shot more than a dozen times. He was taken to UF Health Jacksonville with what police described as critical but non-life-threatening injuries. Neither of the homeowners were injured.

There’s something about chicks with guns, like this one in Connecticut;

According to Kneeland, police were flagged down and told that two men — one armed with a rifle — tried to rob two people in a hallway.

A female victim took a handgun from her purse and fired at one of the men, shooting him in his arm, Kneeland said.

At the same time police were being flagged down, one of the would-be robbers showed up at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center to be treated for a gunshot wound to the arm.

The lady had a legal permit to carry and the thieves didn’t – they had a BB rifle.

As always thanks to Chief Tango for the links.

Blaine sends us a last story from Oklahoma where four fellows tried to turn their lives around in a convenience store;

Police said the men went into the Ryan’s convenience store near 21st and Mingo Wednesday night, wearing masks and carrying guns.

They said they fired one shot at the clerk but he fired back twice, killing two of the suspects.

Two bullets, two dead perps, good ammo conservation – it’s too expensive to be spraying the area. You’ve found the correct amount of range time.
