Friday morning feel good stories
From Corpus Christie, Texas;
Authorities say officers have shot and killed a man who was one of several suspects involved in an early-morning home invasion in Corpus Christi.
Corpus Christi police say the man died at an apartment complex Wednesday after he and others were seen leaving an apartment.
Authorities say a woman in the apartment called police to say a group of men had forced their way in, had assaulted people inside and were taking items with them.
At least one was armed with a gun.
It wasn’t clear why officers were prompted to fire on the man who was killed.
Another man was arrested and at least one other fled as police arrived.
From Creve Coeur, Missouri;
A St. Louis-area man who helped rob a jewelry store here shot himself during the heist, giving investigators DNA to connect him to the crime, according to federal charges.
Michael Anderson Gladney, 41, was charged Friday by complaint in U.S. District Court in St. Louis with armed robbery and one count of possessing and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. He was arrested Wednesday.
Prosecutors say he and three other men entered Vincent’s Jewelers at 11733 Olive Boulevard at about 12:40 p.m. on March 19. One had a pipe and three others, including Gladney, were armed with guns, they said. The robbers ordered workers to the rear of the store and fired into a jewelry case to get at the merchandise inside, prosecutors said.
Gladney shot himself during the robbery and left a trail of blood from a glass case to where a getaway car was parked, prosecutors said. St. Louis County police used that blood to obtain DNA, and matched it to a sample from Gladney in a law enforcement database, prosecutors said.

Good to see the trash taking itself out. Too bad the taxpayer is stuck with the bill to house and feed the trash.

But he gave them some DNA, Claw. There’s that part. He contributed… something.
Ex. That is why, in the world of DNA analysis. they call the sample “A contribution” and the goblin, “A contributor”. Just proving that the crooks are their own worst enemies.
“It wasn’t clear why officers were prompted to fire on the man who was killed.”
That’s some mighty fine reportin’ there, Zeke.
Zero Level Knowledge is to know what you don’t know; or they could have just left the sentence out and saved space.
Ironically, at least 40 years ago, that jewelry store is only a few bocks from where the Creve Coeur PD was located. Too, I remember when Olive was a tar and gravel road and was a bitch to ride your three speed on right after graveling.
Another master criminal, or should I say mental midget?
Like the old Cop said, “we don’t have the time to catch the smart one as we are too busy catching the stupid crooks”
