Wednesday morning feel good stories
From Chicago, Illinois;
A 63-year-old man with a concealed carry license shot an attempted armed robber Monday evening in the South Chicago neighborhood.
The man was walking with another person at 6:19 p.m. in the 8000 block of South Oglesby when the 16-year-old boy and his three accomplices pulled out weapons and demanded their property, according to Chicago Police. The man then pulled out his own gun and shot the boy in his knee, at which point the other suspects ran off.
The boy’s weapon turned out to be a replica handgun, police said.
He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition, police said.
From Battle Creek, Michigan;
Troopers report a 26-year-old Burlington Township man forced his way into a home where he was met by the 38-year-old home owner.
The two men knew each other. A struggle ensued which led to a 22-year-old from Litchfield who was in the home to come to the aid of the homeowner. The Litchfield man was armed with a handgun and tried to subdue the suspect from entering the home by striking him with the butt of a handgun. But the man who was trying to break into the house overpowered and strangled the 22-year-old to the point of unconsciousness.
The man who came to the aid of the homeowner sustained numerous lacerations and bruising about the face and neck. He was taken by Lifecare Ambulance to ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital for non-life threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.
A 20-year-old female and a ten month old infant were also in the home during the incident and were uninjured.
The 26 year old Burlington man was lodged at Calhoun County Jail charged with Assault, Great bodily harm less then Murder and Home Invasion.
From Petosky, Michigan;
Authorities say a man has died after apparently cutting himself on shattered window glass after breaking into a home in northern Michigan.
WPBN-TV reports authorities on Monday identified the man as 36-year-old Vincent Parnell Reynolds, who recently moved to Petoskey from the Saginaw area.
Officers found Reynolds bleeding the morning of May 27 on the home’s roof. Police say he left a party, eventually broke into a house and tried to escape through a window after a brief confrontation with the owner.

I am not sure a 16 year old is a “boy”. Unless they are using it in the racist way. And aren’t guns illegal in Chicago?
Hopefully he keeps his leg and learns the correct life lesson about gangs and crime and preying on senior citizens and how we often see those are all bad ideas.
Too bad the old man didn’t aim a little higher, would have prevented further pollution of the gene pool.
That would have been like a dose of chlorine in the gene pool!
And then was promptly arrested by daring to use a constitutional amendment to protect himself…

The man then pulled out his own gun and shot the boy in his knee, at which point the other suspects ran off.
What idiot has a gun and closes inside reach and then uses it as a club? Extensive training needed on this one, guns have ammo for a reason.
Referencing the idiot who bled to death. It’s Gods way of culling the herd. He takes the stupid ones. Also applies to the sixteen year old who brought a toy gun to a gun fight.
I’m thinking the 16 year-old is gonna walk funny for a long time.
And then there’s Reynolds, who self-eliminated, saving the state the cost of housing him.
