Thursday morning feel good stories

First up is a story from Connecticut, where just last year they restricted firearm ownership from law abiding citizens but forgot to restrict criminals from owning guns;

Milford police said around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a group of people were leaving Eli’s Tavern located at 21 Daniel St. They were headed into the garage at 1 New Haven Ave. when they were approached by two suspects. Police said the suspects demanded the group’s belongings while one pointed a handgun at them.

Police said the armed suspect fired a shot which hit one of the group in the neck and then continued to aim the gun at them. One of the group returned fire with a licensed weapon, striking one of the suspects.

The other unarmed suspect fled the scene on foot according to police. Both the suspect and the victim were taken to a local hospital. The attempted robbery victim was treated for his injuries and later released according to police.

I’m sure the criminals were surprised by the fact that some people in Connecticut are still licensed to carry guns. Maybe the legislature can fix that loophole for the crooks.

And down in Georgia;

A homeowner on Diann Drive said burglars kicked in his front door after he declined to answer their incessant knocking around 11:45 a.m., Detective Melissa Parker told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The homeowner and the suspected burglars then exchanged what sounded like 40 shots to neighbors. The homeowner thought he wounded one suspect and police found a man “shot multiple times” in woods near the home, Parker said.

The man was in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital on Tuesday and detectives have not been able to interview him, Parker said. Police are looking for additional suspects, Parker said.

And, in Arkansas, they take care of their neighbors when they’re not around;

Police say two burglary suspects were caught in the act Tuesday afternoon by a man who saw them breaking into his neighbor’s house. One of the suspects was shot.

According to Little Rock police, the incident happened around 12:45 Tuesday afternoon on Wakefield Drive. Police say a man confronted the two suspects after he watched them break into a neighbor’s house. According to police, the neighbor shot one of the suspects in the hand. No other shots or injuries were reported. The suspect who was shot was taken to a local hospital and the other suspect is in police custody.

The homeowner was not there at the time of the incident.
