Wednesday morning feel good story

Dana sends us our first story this morning from Massachusetts;

According to Sergeant John Delaney, just after midnight, two men began ringing the bell of a home on Webber Street, calling the resident the wrong name, and threatening to “light up the house”. They eventually kicked down the door. The resident was home with their three-year-old daughter at the time. The two men, identified as 24-year-old Jordan Eady and his 22-year-old brother Jason, refused to leave, and advanced on the homeowner who, feeling threatened, shot Jordan in the chest and arm. The Eady brothers then fled the scene and were stopped by officers.

Home invasion is better when you do it with family.

NR Pax sends us another one from Georgia.

In this case, a National Guardsman found himself highly outnumbered as he faced off against three would-be armed robbers.

According to media reports, the man, identified as 23 year old Joseph Toombs, was approached by several suspects at a Sonic Drive-Thru restaurant in DeKalb County, GA late last month. The suspects, at least one of whom was visibly armed, demanded money.

Toombs was able to draw his concealed handgun and open fire. One of the suspects was hit and the others fled.

The homeowner said he was protecting two young children and their mother when he shot the intruder, said Riverside County Sheriff’s Sergeant Mike Manning.

According to the sheriff’s release, the first arriving deputy moved the family to safety and then found Garcia, who was still inside the home suffering from two gunshot wounds.
