Monday morning feel good stories
From Seward County, Nebraska;
The deputy sent to the initial call about the vehicle in the ditch, re-routed to the home invasion. As he arrived in the area he spotted a man who fit the description of the home invasion suspect. The deputy approached him and authorities say the suspect refused to obey commands. They say he became violent and tried to get away in the deputy’s patrol unit.
The deputy deployed a TASER, twice. The TASER jolts didn’t faze the man on the run.
Authorities say the suspect was again ordered to the ground. He ignored the command. At that point the deputy shot him, then initiated medical care while rescue crews responded.
That suspect turned out to be [Cody Nielsen, 31]. He’s being treated for the gunshot wound that is not considered to be life-threatening.
He was taken into custody for a parole violation and several felonies.
From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
“The suspect made entry by prying open a door, went into the home,” MSgt. Gary Knight, with the Oklahoma City Police Department, told News 4.
Police said the suspect demanded the homeowner hand over his keys to his F-250.
“Victim gave him the car keys, but what the suspect didn’t know is the victim was also armed with a gun,” Knight said.
According to police, the homeowner fired a shot at the suspect, who then ran outside. The alleged suspect jumped in the truck and took off, but not before the victim fired one more shot.
“Possibly as he was driving away. He may have hit the vehicle, he may not have. Time will tell on that,” Knight said.
A family member told KFOR that the homeowner is 85-years-old and retired from law enforcement several years ago, adding the suspect is lucky the thief didn’t do this a few years back when the former officer was younger.
From Tucson, Arizona;
Dugan said a man entered the business and displayed a firearm and took money from the business.
The robber was reportedly confronted by a customer in the parking lot and gunfire was exchanged between the customer and the suspect as he was leaving, according to Dugan.
A family member of the customer was hit by gunfire and was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
TPD said the suspect left the scene and was not found.
From Little Rock, Arkansas;
Police said the shooting occurred after officers stopped a vehicle about 1 a.m. at West 52nd Street and Camp Robinson Road. Officers found three people, including a 17-year-old boy, in the vehicle. Officers searched the boy and found he was carrying a gun, according to police.
“A struggle then ensued between officers and the suspect,” the department said in a news release. “During the struggle the suspect fired at least one shot at the officers which resulted in the officers firing shots at the suspect.”
Officers provided medical treatment to the boy after the shooting, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Little Rock saving some tax $$$ on lodging, meals, and court costs.
“The TASER jolts didn’t faze the man on the run.”
So what was he high on? Must have been rather strong. As I recall, the TASER jolt can be quite nasty.
A possibility is that he was wearing multiple layers of clothing due to cold weather and the layers prevented full contact of the electrodes.
More than just a possibility he was all bundled up, more like good old common sense.
I just looked up the weather pattern for rural Seward County, NE. This past Saturday they were calling for wind chills of -20 to -26.
Not exactly shorts and t-shirt weather.
“Saturday they were calling for wind chills of -20 to -26.”
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That made me shiver just thinking about it.
Cold is when a sentence freezes after coming out of a talkers mouth and then falls to the ground.
You people were all born with no sense of humor.
Now that is funny.
Can I get that on Amazon?
In Tucson, the customer confronted the robber as he was fleeing
In the gunfire that followed, the customers father was shot and killed
We all want to stop crime and see robbers punished
This is a case where it would have been better to just him go
It’s not the customers money and the business most likely has insurance
As long as the criminal was not actively pointing the gun at anyone there is no reason to engage him
Agree
Second that.
Only fire upon the threat of death or grievous injury to oneself or another. I am not a LEO.
Regarding Little Rock, You fuck with the bull you get the horn.
Did anyone take in the floor show in court room 6, this morning? Any rumors, facts, or wishful thinking?
