Wednesday morning feel good stories

Our first story this morning comes from Tennessee;

[35-year-old Jamie] Sellars was wearing a black hoodie and jeans. He started out by asking a question before lunging at him with the box cutter.

“He came out from behind (and) asked if they were open. They were not, so he attacked the owner with his box cutters,” said Kathy Tyson with the La Vergne Police Department.

The owner sustained a cut on his neck. Despite the injury, the store owner reached for his gun and shot the Sellars one time. Sellars was able to leave the store, but did not get far.

Officers from the Metro Nashville Police Department arrived a short time later. K-9 units were able to find the body of the suspect right next door.

Sellars was treated at the scene but was pronounced dead before being transported to the hospital.
