Sunday morning feel good stories
From Miller County, Arkansas;
Earlier, at around 4:40 a.m., Miller County deputies responded to prowler call in which a citizen reported someone was attempting to break into his residence located off Miller County Road 952.
The homeowner confronted an armed perpetrator, who was dressed in all black and wearing a ski-mask.
The two-exchanged gun fire and the suspect fled the area on foot. At the time of the call deputies were unable to locate the suspect.
More than two hours later, just before 7 a.m., deputies were notified of a 16-year-old male gunshot victim at Wadley Hospital.
From Bloomington, Ohio;
Kim Sinnott and her twin sister, Tamie Lesher, were visiting their parents for their father’s 75th birthday.
The alarm went off in the house and the light went on in the garage. Sinnott and her sister prepared to face the intruder while their elderly parents and her 13-year-old granddaughter remained inside.
Sinnott’s mother gave her her father’s handgun and Lesher grabbed a pipe.
Sinnott warned the burglar that she had a gun and that she would shoot. The burglar proceeded to attack her and wrestle her on the ground. Sinnott shot him in either the leg or the foot.
“When he grabbed me and pulled me down I was fearing for my life, I shot him just for him to let me go,” said Sinnott.
The burglar, 21-year-old Mykale B. Davis, was taken to the hospital.

“…The two-exchanged gun fire…” is usually not a good thing. If you know that the thug is armed, and is a threat, shoot first, and often. Deprive him of the opportunity to do the same to you.
“…warned the burglar that she had a gun and that she would shoot….” This is not a requirement of self defense. This is a statement for someone to use who has compassion for someone who has no compassion for you. If the person is a threat, unload the weapon on him, center mass, and consider your first shot to be the warning.
“…shot him in either the leg or the foot…” There is no good reason, for someone in fear of their life, to shoot in either the leg or the foot. If your life is at stake, shoot to kill, and repeatedly.
Words to live by. Literally.
I figured she got him in the leg or foot only as a matter of chance. She was just trying to shoot the guy anywhere she could, and that’s where the bullet happened to impact.
