Thursday morning feel good stories

Our first feel good story this morning comes from Florida where two fellows learned that pellet gun doesn’t rate in a gun fight;

A 22-year-old man answered a knock at the door as two men forced their way into the apartment, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said one of the men held a pellet gun to the victim’s head after ordering him to the ground.

A 22-year-old woman ran into her bedroom and got her handgun. Deputies said she pointed the gun at the men who fled on foot.

The man dropped his pellet gun as he fled, authorities said.

Both victims were not hurt and are students at the University of Central Florida, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Now to Texas;

Police said four men wearing bandanas on their faces and armed with guns dashed into the store. As they entered, several store employees slipped out the back door.

Police said the gunmen hopped over a counter, grabbed a female employee and marched her to a back room where they tied her hands. One of the gunmen took a man to another room and forced him to lie on the ground. Then the attckers [sic] fled empty-handed.

As the robbers were leaving, the man who had been forced to lie on the floor grabbed a handgun in the store and opened fired on them. At least one of the gunmen returned fire. No one at the store was injured in the gunfire. Authorities do not believe the attackers were wounded.

Up to Oregon;

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call Tuesday morning after a neighbor allegedly chased a suspected burglar down his street and fired warning shots, officials said.

That neighbor also called 911 to report that the man had attempted to break into his house. He told deputies he fired a handgun into the air to scare the suspect away, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies responded to the area of Mayberry Ln. and Lusted where they stopped a person who matched a description of the burglar.

Richardo Padron, 35, of Gervais was taken into custody and charged with second-degree criminal trespassing.

Padron allegedly dropped a bag or backpack while fleeing the scene, but deputies have been unsuccessful in locating it.
