Sunday morning feel good stories
First stop this morning is in North Carolina, where Barbara Temple took the war against crime to the criminals after someone tried to rob her and her husband for a second time within a few weeks;
arbara and Sam Temple were in their home on N.C. Highway 210 near Smithfield at about 9 p.m. when two men broke in, Barbara Temple said.
The home had been burglarized a few weeks ago, when thieves made off with $27,000, she said. After that, she bought a 9-millimeter handgun for protection.
During Thursday’s break-in, Barbara Temple said she grabbed her gun.
“When I got the gun, they realized that I had that gun, and that is when my leg got hit,” she said.
Despite being shot in the leg, she opened fire on the intruders, who ran off without taking anything from the home.
“I’m just hoping that they get whoever done it because we’ve been through terror,” she said.
In Texas, a trucking company owner took out the trash;
According to Houston police, the owner of the shop in the 8500 block of Westcott near Camay returned to his shop, which is currently still under construction, around 9:45 p.m. and found a man inside trying to steal some items.
The two began scuffling, and the business owner, who was armed, pulled out his firearm and shot the man.
The burglar was taken to LBJ Hospital in critical condition, where he died. His identity has not yet been released.

The ones from Texas always get me to smile.
Another one off to the great ghetto in the sky!!!
We seem to have about one of these incidents a day here in Houston.
They rarely talk about it on the news other than a quick mention now.
But, they give the good guys a medal!
Nice shootin’ Tex! But I won’t bother with the scuffles. Too old. I’ll shoot first and the only story told will be…mine.
