Thursday morning feel good stories

From North Royalton, Ohio;

According to police, a homeowner on York Road found two unknown people in his garage when he arrived home. There was “some sort of altercation” that resulted in the homeowner shooting one of the intruders.

The two unknown people ran from the garage into a waiting car with two people already inside it. The car drove from the house to a nearby parking lot at York and Sprague. At that point, two of the occupants jumped from the car and started running. The injured person was left in the parking lot. The driver of the car drove away from the scene.

The driver was later apprehended in Parma. The two suspects on foot were caught by North Royalton police. The injured person was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center.

Police tell Fox 8 that they have also taken the homeowner into custody while they “sort everything out.”

From Sonora, California;

It was sometime after 3 a.m. when Jake Fuller and his girlfriend, Evon Meckler, were suddenly awakened from a deep sleep. They realized someone had broken into their Feather River Drive home.

Meckler immediately dialed 911 as Jake armed himself and made his way outside.

“I told her that someone had broken into our house, given her our address immediately and told her that Jake had a gun,” Meckler said.

“He wrecked a mile up the road and randomly walked into this door here,” Fuller said.

Once inside the garage, the suspect made his way to a back door. Before Jake got there, they could hear the suspect’s voice.

“He was repeating who he was. He was in the basement, ‘Please open the door.’ Real polite and just something weird to hear that at 3 a.m.” Fuller recalled.

“We didn’t know who he was,” Meckler said. “We didn’t know how many people were down there, what he was going, how long he’d been in there. We didn’t hear anyone break in. We only heard him trying to get out.”

By that time, Jake positioned himself in the driveway, facing all the entrances that the intruder could possibly pass through.

“As soon as he opens this door, I have him at gunpoint. And he stood here for about eight to 10 minutes until the sheriffs arrive,” Fuller said.

In what seemed like 45 minutes from the time that 911 call was made, which was actually only about 10, the 38-year-old suspect Jeremiah Hyde was on his stomach and in handcuffs.

Fuller and Meckler were thankful they had the means to protect themselves but relieved it didn’t come down to using deadly force.

“If it’s in the right person’s hands, it’s effective as anything,” Fuller said. “Kids are texting and driving these days and they’re dying. I don’t see a ban on automobiles or cell phones.”

“Especially with all the gun laws going on and people wanting to ban guns you don’t see a lot of these stories,” Meckler said.

From Houston, Texas;

“An altercation occurred between an employee here at the store and a customer,” HPD Officer Ben Rothberg said. “The altercation led from the store out into the parking lot where at one point a gunshot was fired, and the male was struck one time.”

HPD major assault investigators rushed to the scene after the shooting victim was transported to the hospital for a gunshot wound.

A witness claims the whole thing was a misunderstanding with his co-worker named ‘Cameron’ over the price of some beef jerky.

“So, they’re going back and forth over a damn Slim Jim, over a dollar, basically,” witness Kenneth Allen said. “He walks up to Cameron, Cameron pushed him back […] he whipped in his back pocket, pulled a gun out and shot him.”

The shooting victim underwent surgery for his wound but is reportedly in stable condition.

Police said the store clerk could face charges over the shooting.
