Next stop is a little further south in West Virginia;

The residents of the apartment along Cross Lanes Drive were sleeping about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday when they heard the door kicked in and people in their living room stealing a TV and other items, according to a news release from the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said after hearing the suspects leave, the husband and wife went into the living area to see what happened. While in the living room, the residents said the front door was again forced open. A white male and a black male started into the apartment. Deputies said the male resident had a pistol with him that he kept for protection. The white male suspect fled, but the black male suspect continued into the apartment toward the couple, then turned to flee. Deputies said the male resident shot the black male suspect as he was fleeing.

The black male suspect ran along Cross Lanes Drive before falling alongside the roadway, deputies said. Deputies said the black male suspect was located and taken to the hospital in an ambulance for non-life threatening injuries.

Deputies said the white male suspect is still on the run and some of the stolen property has been recovered.

Our final stop is New York;

Police were called to Ann Road off Crane Road around 2 a.m. by a woman who reported a “burglary in progress.” A second call received moments later by the 9-1-1 Center from a resident of the home advised police that the intruder was carrying a gun.

Carmel Police Chief Michael Cazzari said Officers Christopher Fox and James Terrazas were in the area at the time and arrived on the scene less than four minutes later where they found a woman bleeding from a gunshot wound to the leg and a man suffering from multiple gunshots to the chest who was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Daniel Stephens.

The woman was taken by Mahopac FD Rescue Squad personnel to Danbury Hospital and was admitted.

Chief Cazzari did not identify the dead man or the woman due to what he described as the “domestic violence nature of the incident.”

The chief did say that the intruder was a “past domestic partner” of the woman.

Because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
