Tuesday morning feel good stories
From Licking County, Ohio;
The Licking County Sheriff’s Office says Samuel Beskid entered a home in St. Louisville around 5 a.m. Sunday armed with a gun and a flashlight. Investigators say Beskid confronted the homeowner as he lay in bed, sparking an altercation.
Sheriff’s Capt. Chris Slayman tells The Columbus Dispatch the homeowner used his own weapon to shoot Beskid.
Slayman says the homeowner knew Beskid, and the home invasion was not a burglary.
No arrests have been made, and no charges have been filed.
Bobo sends us a link from Lenexa, Kansas;
Police said a man entered the store brandishing a weapon. An off-duty officer who just happened to be at the store at the time shot the suspect. That suspect has died.
Police said no one else was injured. Some shoppers at the store when the shooting happened had to be treated for mild ailments such as panic attacks.
The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department confirmed later Sunday that the officer was one of theirs.
There’s an update on a story which unfolded in Youngstown, Ohio this weekend;
A 19-year-old man who police said was shot trying to rob someone Saturday evening died over the weekend.
Tyler Kitchen of Youngstown is the city’s 22nd homicide victim of the year.
Reports said Kitchen was shot about 6:10 p.m. at Belmont Avenue and Wirt Street.
Chief of Detectives Capt. Brad Blackburn said two men agreed to meet Kitchen to buy a phone from him over the internet but Kitchen tried to rob them.
Instead, one of the men who is a valid concealed carry holder shot Kitchen.
From Silverton, Ohio;
The suspect accused of shooting an 82-year-old Silverton resident who authorities say returned fire in self-defense remains hospitalized.
Dwight Allen, 32, of Roselawn faces charges of felonious assault and carrying concealed weapons.
He is expected to appear in Hamilton County Municipal Court when he is released from University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
According to court records, Allen took a 9mm Ruger semi-automatic handgun and large knife concealed in a box to the victim’s Lillian Drive home on Saturday.
After the victim let Allen in, Allen brandished the gun and struggled with the victim, court records show. The victim was shot in the back trying to flee.
The victim was able to retrieve his personal handgun and fire it once to stop the threat, sheriff’s officials wrote in a sworn statement.
Allen was hit in the left shoulder.
Authorities found him in possession of lighter fluid and a mask, court records show.
From Arlington, Texas;
Police say an off-duty officer shot a suspected shoplifter near the food court at a busy Dallas-area shopping mall.
Arlington police spokesman Lt. Christopher Cook tells WFAA-TV the incident occurred late Sunday afternoon after a theft was reported at a store inside The Parks at Arlington mall.
Cook says the male suspect produced a replica handgun and was shot by an officer who thought the weapon was real. The unidentified suspect was taken to an area hospital. His condition is not yet known.

“Victim” my ass. He was shot while trying to perpetrate a crime of violence (street robbery). Kitchen was nothing but a low-life who tried to rob someone and got some Instant Karma.
Victims don’t set up street robberies. Mr. Kitchens chickens came home to roost.
Do you know how hard it is to say “kitchen’s chickens” out loud at 7:30 in the morning without coffee? Wife is still laughing at me.
Don’t worry, it will be correctly annotated in the next list of gun victims posted by Brady.
Bringing a toy gun to a real gun fight is always a bad idea in my opinion, but your mileage may vary I suppose.
but…but…he dindu nuffin
Its probably illegal to carry a real handgun at doctor school.
Think I’ll take my pellet pistol down to the liquor store and get a bottle and make a cash withdrawal. Na , maybe not such a good idea.
“Some shoppers at the store when the shooting happened had to be treated for mild ailments such as panic attacks.”
Panic attacks? PANIC ATTACKS????? (Falls down laughing!) Welcome to the real world!
Oh, that Texas guy? He had called the cops ahead of time and told them he had a gun and was going to use it.
Apparently, he was looking for trouble.

IDIOT!!!
I bought a Walther P88 pellet pistol years ago to keep me occupied while recovering from back surgery. It was in the display case at my local gun shop with the other real ammo fireing pieces and you could not tell it was a pellet gun till you looked down inside the muzzle. It shot as good as it looked too. Kept me from going stir crazy and much improved my hand gunning.
Attempted suicide by cop?
It is possible.
That’s the theory proposed by the APD, as described in the article.
