Saturday morning feel good stories
Our first inspiring story comes from Texas, like most days;
According to police at the scene, two men were inside the apartment when four armed suspects tried to force their way in through the front door. One of the men inside was armed and was able to fire shots. The suspects returned fire and it turned into a full-blown shootout.
Three of the suspects fled, one of them was killed on the scene. Detectives are telling us they don’t know right now if this apartment was targeted or what the suspects could be looking for.
Officers say they are having a difficult time getting witness to talk at the scene, and it seems like everyone is scared.
The two men inside the apartment at the time it happened are unhurt and are being interviewed by police.
Here’s another story from Florida;
Officials said the victim and another man were doing a land survey in the area of Northwest 45th Avenue and Northwest 8th Street when he was approached by the suspect, who pulled out a gun and demanded money.
The victim said he didn’t have any money and the suspect demanded his cellphone and told him to get on the ground. The victim complied but while he was on the ground he took out his own gun and shot the would-be robber, officials said.

I could never understand why they need to steal cell phones. If they really need a cell phone, can’t the get an Obamaphone?

I think it’s simply criminal nature, Hack. “Hey, I didn’t rob you to walk away empty-handed. If you got no money you gonna give up something!”
These days, a cell phone is something damn near everyone has.
Cellphones are expensive as shit. Not many people carry around hundreds of dollars in cash but they carry hundreds of dollars in the form of cellphones. $700 iPhone for example.
There’s an app for that. iGlock
