Friday morning feel good stories

From Downey, Idaho;

Former Pocatello resident Joseph Lloyd, 34, was also fatally shot in September, when he allegedly tried to force his way through the door of a residence on Barnes Lane off Highway 40, west of the Downey city limits. Bannock County sheriff’s officials have said all indications are that the homeowner fired a gun in defense of himself and other family members who were at home at the time.

That incident is still under investigation, and authorities have not said if Lloyd was armed as well.

From Akron, Ohio;

A man accused of breaking in to an Akron home died after being stabbed by the homeowner.

According to Akron police reports, it happened at roughly 12:30 a.m. Thursday.

Officers were called to the home in the 600 block of Blanche Street to reports of a stabbing victim. The victim was found inside a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix parked in the driveway. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.

While officers were at that location on Blanche Street, a resident in the 1300 block of Girard Street reported a burglary at his home. He said two men, armed with a handgun, got into the home by removing a window air conditioning unit.

The resident said he stabbed one of the suspects in the chest.

The suspects then fled the home and drove to Blanche Street, where they called for paramedics.

From Youngstown, Ohio;

The cab driver told police he was called to the Rockford Village public housing complex to take three men to an address on Rutledge Drive. When he arrived, one of them pulled a gun and demanded money.

The cab driver wrestled with the gun before it went off, wounding one of the robbers. They fled and the driver drove to Maranatha Lane, where he called 911.

A short while later, police answered a call for a man who claimed he was shot nearby and that led to them arresting all three people.
