Thursday morning feel good stories
From Houston, Texas;
A homeowner shot and killed a suspected car thief outside his northeast Houston home Wednesday, police said.
According to investigators, the homeowner heard a noise around 11 p.m. outside his home in the 7400 block of Langley Road. The homeowner told police he saw a man breaking into his pickup truck that was parked in the driveway. The homeowner grabbed a gun, went outside and started yelling at the man, police said. At some point, an altercation broke out and the homeowner shot the man, police said.
He was pronounced dead on the scene.
No one else was injured.
The homeowner was questioned and released.
From Algansee Township, Michigan;
Michigan State Police say around 12:30 a.m. three suspects broke multiple windows and tried to get in through the front door of a house in the 1200 block of Berlew Road in Algansee Township, near the Indiana border.
The homeowner was inside when they fired multiple rounds at the suspects, according to a MSP news release.
The suspects then drove away in a dark green, four-door sedan with a loud exhaust. Investigators say it may have been a Mercury Marquis or Ford Crown Victoria.
One of the suspects was later dropped off at Promedica Coldwater Regional Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The suspect vehicle didn’t stay and drove away.
Georgia authorities are investigating a shooting at a home in south Fulton County after an 81-year-old man allegedly shot and killed a man trying to break into his home early Tuesday, police said. It turns out the would-be burglar was the man’s adult son.
The estranged son, identified as Troy Fountain, 56, tried “to make forced entry into the father’s home and was shot one time,” Chattahoochee Hills police Chief Stoney Mathis said. “The son is deceased and the case is under investigation at this time.”
Mathis said Fountain threw a rock through the glass in the front door. Police told WSB-TV that the father shot through the door and hit the son in the head.
Officials have not filed charges against the father, identified as Lance Fountain.

Shooting and killing your own son……things had to have really gone wrong to come to that.
That is one of those cases that, no matter which way you turn, you’ve no good options and no happy endings.

No brag. Just fact.
Try not to suck.
Cody Joslin of Maui sentenced to 18 months in prison for using Stolen Valor to get VA disability . That plus 48000 in restitution. That sure made me feel good today !!
NCF, maybe you could get them interested in pos brother David “Doc” Shrum, he has now scammed the VA out of 500K, nobody seems to care?
This is a different outcome than the 83 year old Greek from yesterday! His son must have been a real asshole!
Sadly, this is usually because substance and/or alcohol abuse has taken over and the person you raised or grew up with is long gone.
Sadly, happens way too often.
TWO suspects were DRT and a third was WRT. Two other suspects avoided high volicity lead injections.
The Grammar Police filed this report:
“The homeowner was inside when they fired multiple rounds at the suspects, according to….” Shamey, shamey, reporter lamey! “Homeowner” is a singular noun describing one person, not several. This sentences becomes an exercise in translating confusing reportage into standard English.
Grammar Police score: Reporter 5 + a head smack from Sister Mary Grace’s yellow pencil.
Next:
“The suspect vehicle didn’t stay and drove away.”
Analysis: Subject does matter here. Apparently, Christine the Evil Plymouth Fury/Savoy/Blevedere and The Car (1971 Lincoln Continental) have had a meetup, a date, spent some time rubbing bumpers at the same lube pit and the result was a self-driven dark green Ford Crown Victoria of indeterminate age, with glass packs, which car has apparently committed itself to a life of crime scene getaways.
Grammar Police score: Reporter: 15 + a double head smack of Sister Mary Grace’s 12-inch ruler for writing fiction in a news story.
It’s writing like that which will secure their position as technical writers for a proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the federal government.
