Tuesday morning feel good stories

The forces that stand against evil were busy this weekend as the weather across the country warms up a bit. Our first stop is Kentucky;

Troopers say Gregory W. Codington, 45, of Sarasota, Fl. was shot by the homeowner after he allegedly forced his way into the home and then got into a altercation with the homeowner. During that altercation, investigators say the homeowner fired several shots from a handgun, killing Coddington.

Troopers say it appears that homeowner and Coddington did not know each other and this was a random attack.

We go East now, to North Carolina;

Williamston Police say it happened at 516 Warren Street in Williamston. The call came into police at approximately 9:50 p.m. Saturday.

Police say detectives determined Markese Lee forced his way into the home and exchanged gunfire with a resident inside the house. Lee was shot and taken to Martin General Hospital where he died.

Family members tell us Lee was 23-years-old.

Yet another story from North Carolina;

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said a motorist exchanged gunfire on Saturday with someone he knew who approached his vehicle and robbed him in the 8900 block of J.M. Keynes Boulevard, off North Tryon Street in the University City area.

Neither the robber nor the victim was reported injured, but police said the victim’s 2-year-old daughter suffered minor cuts from broken window glass. The toddler, who was in the back seat, was treated at Carolinas Medical Center, police said.

Finally, from Florida;

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the intended robbery victim was returning home from work when he was approached by an unknown number of robbery suspects. During the incident, the unidentified man opened fire and accidentally struck a nearby neighbor.

Nicole Greenberg, 18, lives down the street and said she heard four shots.

“At first I didn’t think it was a robbery at all. I thought it was a drive-by,” Greenberg said.

She heard screaming and looked down the street. Greenberg could see a woman kneeling over a man who had been shot, yelling, “someone call 911, call 911!”

What happened to the robbery suspects is unclear.

Someone needs some range time.
