Monday morning feel good stories

From St Louis, Missouri;

Police said a masked suspect entered the bar and announced a robbery. The bar was full at the time, with around 20 people inside.

The owner, who was bartending at the time, took out a gun from behind the bar, and she and the suspect started exchanging shots.

Police said the suspect then went outside while still shooting.

Police said the owner was shot in the arm, a female customer was shot in the ankle and a male customer was shot in the head. All three were taken to a hospital and are expected to recover.

Witnesses said there was a second suspect in the bar’s foyer. Both suspects ran.

From Atlanta, Georgia;

Police told FOX 5 News that the unnamed 25-year-old was shot after trying to rob a 19-year-old who was leaving the mall with food from the food court.

As the 19-year-old tried to get into his car, the shooting victim left his own car and attempted to enter the teen’s, possibly to rob him, police said.

The 19-year-old reached for his gun and fired shooting the suspect multiple times, according to officials.

Homicide is now investigating the incident. Police say that the shooter is cooperating with the investigation.

There is currently no word on whether the shooter will face any charges.

From Redwood City, California;

Police responded to a call about a man who was holding a black handgun near the ATM machines of the Wells Fargo Bank at 1900 Broadway, according to a news release issued by the Redwood City Police Department. The caller described the man as a Hispanic male in his 30s who was pacing back and forth.

Redwood City police, along with deputies from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, “utilized a variety of active crisis intervention and de-escalating techniques” and used less lethal weapons to engage the man, police said. But when the man raised his gun and fired shots in the direction of the officers, they returned fire and killed the man.

Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
