Wednesday morning feel good story

This morning, we read about a good guy with a gun in Colorado;

The shooting occurred when the occupants – a man and a woman – were watching television. They heard the suspect banging loudly on a window in the rear area of the house. The man told the woman to call the police, and he retrieved his handgun.

At this point, the suspect had gone around to the front of the house and was banging loudly on the glass screen door, which was locked, continuing his attempt to break in. The suspect shattered the glass screen door and then burst in through the front door, which may have been unlocked.

The man was standing near the front door when the suspect burst in. The suspect immediately attacked the man, knocking him down to the ground, and the two began fighting. The man told police that he feared for his life.

During the fight, the man fired a single shot from his handgun, hitting the suspect in the chest. The suspect was dead when police arrived.

Yeah, when they get shot and there’s only one living witness, he’s not a “suspected intruder” at that point.

AW1Ed sends a story of a 95-year-old World War II veteran who decided that he didn’t want to give up the pictures of his grandchildren that were in his wallet;

[Arthur Kamberis] said he noticed a man about 15 feet ahead of him. He recognized him from the waiting area at Walgreens.

The man made a U-turn and headed straight for him, grabbing Kamberis’ arm and reaching for the pocket where Kamberis had placed his wallet, Kamberis said.

“I didn’t know he was stalking me,” Kamberis said.

[…]

Kamberis said he swung his cane hard, hitting the man first in the arm and a second time in the shoulder.

By then the two were in the middle of the road. A car came along and the young male driver stopped and started to get out; the would-be robber ran. –

The fellow who stopped to help Arthur drove him home – he reported the incident to police who advised him that he should have whacked his attacker in the head.

He said he is taking steps to ensure his future safety. Whenever he goes out walking, he said he’s going to have his cellphone on one hip and his .357 magnum revolver on the other.

The police are still looking for the assailant, but, if Arthur sticks to his plan, the perp will be easier to find next time.
