Robert Dale Bradshaw, 42, and Derick Deangelo Vaughn, 31, were arrested early Wednesday morning and charged with second-degree theft.

Deputies were called to a home on Eva Court around 1 a.m. Wednesday after gunshots were heard in the area. The homeowner called while deputies were on the way to the home and said he caught two men hooking a truck to his utility trailer, so he got his gun and shot at the vehicle, authorities said.

Vaughn ran when the shooting started, according to deputies. Bradshaw was able to drive away from the home but abandoned the vehicle at Maysville Road and Cooper Drive because a tire was shot, deputies said.

Vaughn was shot under his arm, deputies said. He was treated and released from Huntsville Hospital and then booked back into the jail.

From Gilbert, Arizona;

Gilbert police said 27-year-old E’lon Hayes pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money. The clerk was armed with a handgun and drew his weapon to defend himself.

“I was in fear for my life already,” the clerk told police. “The minute he showed the gun I was in fear for my life, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do.”

Surveillance video from inside the store shows the clerk grab a gun and chase the suspect outside.

Once outside the store, the suspect allegedly made a threatening gesture toward the clerk, and the clerk fired his weapon at the suspect.

“I shot him,” the clerk told the dispatcher. “It was behind the store when he started to turn.”

In a nearby neighborhood, Hayes flagged officers from inside his car, saying he had been shot. He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Police located an airsoft gun in the car.

He was released from the hospital on December 6 and released from prison in July of this year.
