Thursday morning feel good stories

Our stories begin in Texas this morning, as they often happen;

“The suspect knocked on the front door, attempted to make contact with someone on the front door, and then went around to the back door and started trying to knock the back door in,” explained Lt. James Saulter.

“As he was making entry, the homeowner started shooting rounds through the door,” Saulter added. “Evidence shows it was definitely a burglary.”

Relatives of the suspect said Trent Sinyard, 32, was shot once in the back and also suffered a deep graze in the back of the head. Deputies confirmed that information.

Sinyard’s family said that he was only looking for a missing doggie, but he didn’t seek treatment for the wounds because police found him hiding out in Mom’s attic.

In Ohio, it’s more dangerous if you have nothing to do with a gun related incident;

Two men had gone to a house to visit a resident and they began to argue with the person, Phalen said. The Old Gate Drive resident was pistol-whipped.

The person who was injured then got a gun and the two parties exchanged shots, the sheriff said.

No one was hit, but one bullet went through the siding of a house, Phalen said.

You have to look beyond the target before you pull the trigger.

On to Pennsylvania, where stun guns don’t always stun folks as much as you’d like to think;

The homeowner received a text message at 11:45 p.m. from one of the teens, stating that she was having car trouble nearby and asking if she could come over. She and another suspect, Breyah Staude, arrived and were invited inside the home. Soon after their arrival, the homeowner noticed that his water was turned off, went outside to investigate and found that the water valve was purposely turned off. A short time later, the homeowner said he heard a car alarm system going off outside and immediately reached for a shotgun and loaded it with a single 12-guage shell. As he opened the front door to investigate, the homeowner was shocked on his left shoulder with a stun gun by a person wearing dark-colored clothing and a ski mask. The homeowner, fearing for his life, shot the person, who he later recognized to be Stoudt, someone he knew. The homeowner, along with Stoudt’s son and one of the other teens, dragged Stoudt to a nearby car so that he could be driven to a hospital, but Stoudt eventually died at the scene.Breyah Staude The three surviving suspects have been charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and related offenses.

I’m pretty sure that one of those offenses they’re charged with is murder.
