Monday morning feel good stories
From Albuquerque, New Mexico;
When officers spotted the suspects speeding away from the store in a white van, they followed them.
“This is two area commands, we have a massive scene here,” said APD Officer Simon Drobik.
The pursuit ended in a Smith’s grocery store parking lot, where shots were fired.
“We came in here quick stop just to pick up some cherries because they were on sale we were supposed to do a quick in and out,” said Leandrew Deswood, who was inside Smith’s during the shooting.
Police say an officer shot at the suspects.
They say one of the suspects was taken to a hospital where he later died and the second is in custody.
From Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania;
“The (intruder) came from across the street and went into the victim’s garage. While in the garage, the (intruder) retrieved a gas can and walked into the victim’s house. The (intruder) began pouring gasoline all over the floor,” according to a news release.
The home owner pushed the intruder out of the home, while at the same time, his daughter retrieved a handgun and gave it to her father then called 911, police said.
The intruder repeatedly “kept coming at” the homeowner, knocking him the ground, police said.
“The (homeowner) got to his knees and fired one shot at the (intruder), striking him in the left arm and abdomen,” police said.
The intruder stayed on the ground until paramedics and police arrived at the scene, and was taken to a local hospital for treatment for his wounds.

Story #2 is one of those ‘what the h—?’ stories that leave you shaking your head.
I agree. Reading into the lack of information at the link provided I’d guess that there was an ongoing neighbor dispute.
The nature of the crime(s) demands that the perp does some serious time in the slammer and rightfully so.
Maybe he piled his lawn clippings and yard waste too close to the neighbors property? I hear from the left that is a solid enough offense to justify felony assault. Especially if the neighbor is a libertarian politician.
Sum dood comes in to my house with a gas can and starts pouring it, he is definitely getting a free ambulance ride.
Only fired one shot?
WTF ???
That puke should be dead…
That is going to cost thousands to repair that gasoline smell in the flooring unless he poured it on a linoleum floor.
2 shots, one in arm, one in abdoman
Yeh, too bad the homeowner wasn’t a better shot!!
“The intruder repeatedly “kept coming at” the homeowner, knocking him the ground, police said.”
Given the circumstances, I believe he would have ‘come at me’ exactly once.
Yeah…this “come at me” part deserved a better shot placement. Center-mass.
Fire a handgun with gasoline all over the floor?
Take it outside boys.
That was my thought.
Armed citizen shoots carjacker dead outside a Tumwater, WA Walmart.

“According to a police release, two armed civilians initially approached the suspect.”
Good strategy.
I’m telling you never go to Walmart unarmed. It is the most dangerous place in most small cities. The sheer volume of crime that take place there from the shoplifting, carjackings, drug sales in the bathroom, hit and run crashes, assaults, police chases etc. make the cost savings over other stores negligible.
If you go after 9PM half the customers in the store are either high or shoplifting (or both).
Gee, that doesn’t occur at the Walmart I go to. I must be living in a more civilized location… and the county mounties are a short phone call away, and they have ZERO sense of humor… and there is frequently an off-duty pohlease person near the front exits, too.
Or maybe I just live on another planet?
I used to think the same thing about my local Walmart. If your local department allows access to crime reports some reading might change your mind.
Of course you may live in a ultra low crime area.
No, they are all scared of you…
Like we are…
Had not considered that option.
PH2, we have heard you live on another planet! “skillets-r-us” right?
Just like Kennedy’s, I am calling BS. How could a bullet strike both the arm and abdomen? It’s a miracle bullet, a conspiracy! We need an investigation! /s
He can tell his fellow perps, “shot in the lower arm above the elbow”.
Pour product (gasoline) on the floor an act of arson, spill product (gasoline) on the floor an accident. When the case goes to court, one side will claim a spill and the other a pour.
