Sunday morning feel good stories
From Orlando, Florida;
An 18-year-old Orlando man is facing a first-degree murder charge after authorities say a botched home invasion turned into a shootout — leaving another 18-year-old dead and a 70-year-old homeowner injured with multiple gunshot wounds.
Deputies say Luismil Hernandez was one of two armed teenagers to kick down the door at a house on the 7700 block of Murcott Circle on Wednesday. They were greeted by the homeowner, Juan Caraballo, 70, who was armed with a .45-caliber handgun.
Authorities say a gunfight started between Caraballo and the second intruder, Gerald Anderson, 18. Caraballo and Anderson were both shot multiple times during the shootout.
When deputies responded, they found Caraballo bleeding profusely near his front door — shot in the arm, chest and stomach. Caraballo’s wife told authorities she arrived home from work to find her husband crawling on the ground, saying that he was injured but had “shot one of them,” according to court documents.
Caraballo was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for surgery, and was last in stable condition, sheriff’s spokesman Jeff Williamson said.
Inside the home, deputies followed a trail of blood leading to a bedroom, where they found Anderson lying on the bed holding a .40-caliber handgun. He was pronounced dead — shot twice in the chest and once in the arm, authorities said. Deputies also found a shattered bedroom window from which Hernandez apparently escaped.
Authorities were able to identify Hernandez by searching through Anderson’s Facebook account. Hernandez was arrested Friday on a warrant for first-degree murder and armed burglary charges. He’s being held at the Orange County Jail without bond.
In Peoria, Arizona;
Peoria police report that on January 1, 29-year-old Adam Daniel Flower used a golf club to shatter a rear door and enter a home near 93rd Avenue and Jomax Road.
Flower, who has a harassment injunction filed against him, was allegedly looking for the juvenile girl. Other family members confronted him, but he still managed to push his way upstairs.
The girl heard the commotion, escaped out her second story window and hid on the roof of the home.
The father retrieved his handgun from a gun safe, confronted Flower upstairs, firing one shot into the floor, preventing him from going into the bedroom.
Other family members flagged down police from their second story window, directing them to Flower’s location.
Police say Flower violated his harassment injunction several times. He has now been charged with aggravated assault.

“29-year-old Adam Daniel Flower ”
Breaking into a home looking for a minor?
Dad should have made that injunction “permanent” rather than wasting a bullet and putting a hole in the floor.
No shit. The Family should have taken his ass down at the bottom of the stairs. And once papa grabbed the pistol he damn sure should have used it. Lucky he did not hit a Family member on the first floor.
I second that, a good high speed lead injection to the vital organs is always a great deterrent.
When the judge sets Flower’s bond at $500 or even better, a personal recognizance bond, Flower will be back. If he was unimpressed by the paper telling him to leave the girl alone, it’s improbable that a judge’s words, or his bond conditions, will impress him even more.
Dad better get it in his mind that he may have to shoot the Flower when he returns.
Time for a Casey Kasem Long Distance Dedication.
Way to go Juan, standing toe to toe in a shootout tells me a lot. It is unfortunate you took some rounds, and I hope you recover completely to live a long life El Chingon.
Why waste the bullet, now he can return?
Doesn’t federal law prohibit pistol ownership to individuals under 21?
Where are their parents?!
Unintelligible screams that Mr Anderson was turning his life around in 3,2,1…
He dindu nuffin. He was a goot boy, he just earnin’ money for school. Followed by lamentations and screams.
As a reminder, Danni-boi has an appointment in the morning. My guess is that he’ll enter a plea, get credit for time served and be back in Florida in time to spoil someone else’s day.
Sure hope the sheriff has secured any firearms from the domicile.
The sad part about this whole affair is that durning all of this time of his incarceration, nobody has been cleaning the coils on his refrigerator.
Bless his little heart, here’s an opportunity for him to renew a purposeful life!
¡Viva Juan Caraballo! ¡Que magnifico!
On the other hand, the father of the juvenile girl in Peoria Arizona needs to man up and take out the trash. That summbitch is gonna be back. Protect your daughter, dude.
