Wednesday morning feel good story
This morning’s story comes from Texas, like so many of our stories;
The husband was sleeping on the couch in front of the TV when the suspect broke in and was able to grab his gun and fired shots at the intruder.
Precinct 3 officers said the suspect took off in a car after while continuing to exchange fire.
The family had just moved in last week in order to get away from crime, according to officers.
Chief Tango sends us some more stories to brighten up your morning. the first is from Georgia;
Witnesses told police that three men and three women were inside the affected apartment. One of the women left the unit and encountered Quintavious Reed in a breezeway. Reed forced the woman back inside the apartment.
Investigators said Reed got into a struggle with one of the men inside the unit. The victim, who had a gun, fatally shot Reed. A second man inside the apartment was grazed by a bullet. Two guns, including one Reed was carrying, were confiscated by investigators.
No one has been arrested. Police said they will complete their investigation and pass along their findings to the district attorney.
Also, again in Georgia;
A female Atlanta Police officer pulled her eight hours and looked forward to going home. But when she arrived at her suburban residence, she says she quickly realized crime had followed her to her doorstep.
She saw her front door open and figured she was being burglarized. Within minutes she was involved in a confrontation and that suspect was shot.
[…]
The incident took place in Clayton County. According to the incident report, the off-duty Atlanta officer says before she ever saw the suspect, she called 911 about an unfamiliar car by her front drive — the engine still running.
She says as she was giving the Clayton County dispatch tag information on that vehicle when the intruder appeared and came toward her — engaging her physically.

Ol’ Quantavious won’t try this again. Is that an Irish name?
On this site, all official “Irish” pronouncements arise from MCPO. I shall await the finding of his RIA. Did that come out right?
Yeah. That’s it. Irish with a permanent suntan. Yeah. That’s my story & I’m sticking to it.
Yeh….”black Irish”!
That third story in Atlanta. Several comments, pro & con:
Pro – good situational awareness. The front door being open is a start. But the car running in the driveway is also kinda hard to miss.
Con – whoever wrote the story needs to learn how to write. I had to watch the “news” report to find out what happened.
Pro – Good shootin’! I’m guessing that range time paid off.
Con – Not enough shootin’. You got the perp, but he’s still alive. A second round would have done it. ANd you could have claimed he didn’t stop after the first round, that you feared for your life.
COn – That AWFUL “news” report. Mostly filler using some “lawer” blathering on about do’s and don’ts, cops vs civilian mentality. Sheesh!
