Tuesday morning feel good stories

From McMinn County, Tennessee;

Sheriff Guy says the homeowner shot a man who was trying to assault him.

That suspect was taken to a local hospital. Right now, we don’t know the unidentified suspect’s injuries.

From Evansville, Indiana;

The homeowner told police he shot 25-year-old Malcolm Tyler Payton while Payton was crawling through his window with his face covered by a mask and holding a gun.

Payton was found wounded in a nearby yard with a gun nearby.

Payton was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Police say the actions of the homeowner appear to be within the law.

In Colerain Township, Ohio;

Colerain officers were called to the bank at about 11 a.m. Employees told police the robber, wearing dark clothing and a black hat, came inside and demanded money. Jim Love, Colerain Police Department spokesman, said investigators believe an accomplice waited outside.

At some point, a customer and the robber fired on each other. None of the customers or employees was harmed.

It’s unclear if the suspect was injured. Police put in an alert to local hospitals in case he comes in with a gunshot wound. The two men were last seen running off, Love said.

The customer was legally carrying a firearm according to the police.

From Ypsilanti, Michigan;

Officers continued to the scene to find a 28-year-old Ypsilanti man, who told police the incident began when someone rang his apartment from the exterior callbox on his building and he let them up. However, one of the individuals that came up then pulled a gun and attempted to rob him.

The man told police he then pulled his own gun and fired a shot at the suspects, who fled, police said.

Nothing was taken and no one was injured.

Another story from Ypsilanti, Michigan;

A 62-year-old man reported that another person – identified by police as a 54-year-old man – approached him and attempted to rob him, police said.

Police believe the 54-year-old demanded that the 62-year-old empty his pockets or he would be shot, said Ypsilanti police Lt. Deric Gress. The 54-year-old had his hand partially in a pocket at the time, Gress said, and it’s believed he was implying he had a gun.

The 62-year-old man, however, was licensed to carry a concealed weapon and pulled out his own handgun, Gress said. He pointed it at the suspect, who fled.

The suspect in the robbery was arrested in the 300 block of Worden Street after a short foot chase, Gress said. He is lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail and is expected to be arraigned Monday.

Last week we talked about a clerk who shot a crook in his store in Fairfield, California. Here’s the video of the defense.
