Sunday morning feel good stories
The police were the only folks shooting criminals this weekend, I guess. From Killeen, Texas;
After a few days of silence, officials have released the name of the juvenile suspect shot and killed in a robbery at Killeen Marketplace on Monday.
The boy was identified as Daezion Turner by Sgt. David Roberts, a spokesman for the Texas Rangers and the Department of Public Safety. Daezion was 15 years old.
Five days ago, police said a juvenile exchanged gunfire with officers after robbing a T-Mobile store along U.S. Highway 190 about 4:15 p.m.
That left the suspect dead and one officer hurt with minor, non-gunshot injuries.
In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Barry Edwards, got his ass shot the last time he was there, I guess he didn’t learn his lesson;
According to arrest papers filed against Edwards, the shooting drama unfolded around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday on South Grant and Reese streets after witnesses reported hearing a flurry of gunshots. Occupants of two vehicles were shooting at each other while racing down city streets, they said.
During the gunfight, one of the vehicles slammed into an oncoming car of a passerby, rendering them unconscious.
A police officer nearby heard the shots ring out and responded. One of the fleeing vehicles — heavily damaged, with its front hood up blocking the windshield — nearly smashed into the officer’s patrol car. The officer chased after the vehicle until it crashed into a parked car on New Hancock Street.
Officer Joseph Homza then used his patrol car to pin the car to the other vehicle.
Investigators said Edwards quickly rushed from the driver’s seat of the disabled car holding a gun and charged directly at Homza’s patrol car.
Homza used his car door as a weapon, ramming Edwards with it to stop his advance and disorient him.
Fearing for his life, Homza shot the gunman, who dropped his weapon and fled.
The passenger, who was not identified, then bolted from the car holding a gun. He, too, abandoned his gun and fled, police said.
In Atlanta, Georgia, the FBI put an end to Avery Richard’s two day crime spree;
Officials had planned to serve the warrant at a home, but wound up at a shopping center at the intersection of Hamilton E. Holmes Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where Richard shot the agent, FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett said at a press conference.
Other agents fired back at least twice, killing Richard and striking a 32-year-old woman who was with the suspect, Emmett said. The woman and agent were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“It was a high risk arrest,” Emmett said. “(FBI agents) went into it knowing he was armed and dangerous and that he’d shot a sheriff’s deputy.”
Richard, 32, had been wanted since Wednesday after authorities say he shot a Banks County sheriff’s deputy at the Tanger Outlet mall in Commerce. He had been released from prison in October on an aggravated assault conviction, according to the Department of Corrections.
In Des Moines, Iowa;
That house had been broken into several times in the weeks preceding April 10, prompting homeowner Savu Cirligel, 75, to stay there with a .357 Magnum to try to thwart more burglaries.
Cirligel told the Register that, a little before midnight [on April 10th], a woman [Robin Inman] wearing a headlamp entered his house and told him she was there with her boyfriend, who was outside with a gun.
Cirligel told police the woman tried to choke him and as the fight moved outside, he shot her in the lower torso.
Nobody was charged at the time, but police say that woman was Inman. She was in the hospital for more than two weeks after being shot, Parizek said.
Officers couldn’t interview her because she was on pain medications, so she wasn’t placed in custody.
She was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon, a short time before officers found her. Due to HIPAA laws, the hospital couldn’t tell police when she was being released, Parizek said.
She was arrested driving around with a large amount of drugs in a car with no license plates near another crime scene, so it all evens out.

HIPPA laws prevented the hospital from telling the police when she would be released?
How do you spell B-U-L-L-S-H-Y-T ???
Sorry, that’s garbage. Someone at the hospital doesn’t know their HIPAA law.
Daezion
— sigh —
Such potential….I recall some liberal “study” about how racist airbnb hosts were reluctant to rent to folks with made up names like this…
[…] This ain’t Hell… has your Sunday feel good stories […]
Sounds like Trump needs to take a look at those HIPA laws. They are probably state and not federal laws though.
No, the hospital needs more training on what HIPAA allows and doesn’t allow.
Daezion?
Give a kid from a (probably) loser environment a name like that and hope for the best.
Paint me with the ‘R’ brush … Realist
You people-are so quick to judge. Okay-how about ‘R’ for racist. I know for a fact Daezion was not from a loser home, environment or background!!! He was raised in home that believes in God, went to Church, and he was the most respectful kid you could ever meet. He never met a person that was a stranger-neighbors( white, black, Army, retired) you name it he was active in sports and unfortunately made one horrible choice in the company he kept…and no, his family was not aware!!! This choice cost him everything but who are you to judge-he who is without sin. Because as I know ALL sinners will be judged. Have some compassion people. He was a child-someone’s child. He will be missed.
Daezion?
Maybe Dumbaszion or DeadEndzion would have been better.
Seriously, 15 years old and robbing a store with a firearm and shooting at cops: DeadAszion.
So sad. I have a 15yo, too. He is ashamed of many of his generation.
Wow-so you can only show compassion for the family if perhaps it was a Caucasian young man with the name William. How horrible you find humor in this. Shame on you-regardless of his poor choice parents still lost a child.
HIPPA is a federal law.

What is HIPAA?
HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was passed by Congress in 1996. HIPAA does the following:
* Provides the ability to transfer and continue health insurance coverage for millions of American workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs;
* Reduces health care fraud and abuse;
* Mandates industry-wide standards for health care information on electronic billing and other processes; and
* Requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information.

I obviously don’t know for sure, but I suspect either law enforcement or (more likely) the hospital did not understand the law correctly, or did not follow appropriate procedures. The law has exceptions that allow disclosure of patient information to law enforcement officers. See:
