Saturday morning feel good stories

From Hillsboro, Ohio;

Highland County Sheriff Donnie Barrera told The Times-Gazette at the scene on Powell Road, west of SR 73, that a man was fatally shot after he allegedly broke into a Powell Road home around 7 a.m. Friday.

Barrera said the man was armed.

One of the two elderly occupants of the home, both of whom were also armed, allegedly shot the intruder, according to Barrera.

Later, when authorities responded to the scene, another man was found dead in a vehicle down the road, apparently from a gunshot wound, Barrera said.

According to Barrera, it appears as though both men were together before the incident.

From St Louis, Missouri;

The man was delivering food in the 4600 block of South Spring when two suspects robbed him around 10:20 p.m., police said.

During the robbery, one suspect hit the 41-year-old victim on the head with a gun. The man then attempted to run back to his vehicle but one of the suspects fired shots at him.

After the shots were fired at him, the delivery driver, fearing for his safety, returned fire using his own handgun, according to police.

After shooting one of the suspects, the victim went back to his work and called the police.

One suspect was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they found a gun next to his body.

The second suspect is still at-large.

From Bakersfield, California;

A person who was shot in southeast Bakersfield Thursday morning retrieved a gun and returned fire, according to deputies.

The incident occurred at about 11:40 a.m. in the 600 block of Cottonwood Road, where deputies arrived to find a male shot in his lower back. He was taken to Kern Medical Center, deputies said.

Through witness statements and surveillance video, deputies discovered the male, after being shot at, ran into a business and armed himself, according to a Sheriff’s Office release. He fired back at the suspect, who fled on foot and had not been located.

From North Hollywood, California;

Undercover Los Angeles Police Department officers were investigating a series of robberies in the area when they spotted the suspect at around 4:25 p.m. on the 12000 block of Vose Street, according to Lt. Chris Ramirez.

Ramirez said the man jumped into a vehicle and attempted to flee. The suspect got out of the car after a short chase, at which point officers started shooting, Ramirez said.

Asked whether the suspect knew the people who had their guns drawn at him were police, Ramirez said, “Usually our detectives always identify themselves as police officers.”

Witnesses reported hearing around 10 gunshots with officers asking the suspect to show his hands.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he died of gunshot wounds, according to police.

From somewhere in Iowa;

William Rancourt was hunting with friends when a member of the group put his 12-guage shotgun on the ground. One of the hunting dogs then stepped on the trigger, firing the gun and shooting Rancourt in the back.

I’m sure that the dog knew what he was doing. Prosecutors should question him more closely.
