This morning’s short story comes from Alabama where a homeowner prevented a burglar from turning his life around with property that wasn’t his;

The Etowah County Sheriff’s office says the homeowner shot twice at Joseph Lennoard Hankins III, then held Hankins at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Hankins allegedly stole three butane torch kits and a quiver of hunting arrows from a home near the Tidmore Bend community.

Police say a resident at the complex heard some noises coming from outside his bedroom window and went outside with a weapon to investigate. He spotted two men standing by the window and fired several shots at them. One of the suspects was hit. The other took off.
