Saturday morning feel good stories

From Richmond, California;

“Detectives learned that the 47 yr. old suspect from Richmond attempted to break into two other houses before he forced himself into the homeowner’s house,” Richmond police spokesperson Lt. Felix Tan said. “After breaking a window and entering the house, the homeowner had no choice but to defend his family and himself from the suspect. The homeowner incapacitated the suspect by shooting him a few times. The suspect was taken to a local trauma center where he is still alive.”

Police say the shooting appears to be “self defense on the part of the homeowner as a victim of a home-invasion robbery,” Tan said.

From Tulsa, Oklahoma;

Officers arrived and found the 42-year-old wounded man lying by the front entry door as well as several bullet holes in a wall. They say he was pronounced dead a few minutes later.

Police say the woman told officers she was watching TV with her current boyfriend when she heard someone banging on the patio door. They say the woman told police she grabbed her gun and fired at the ex-boyfriend as he broke through the glass door. Police say the woman said she didn’t know it was her ex-boyfriend at first, and thought it was a burglar.

“She surrendered. She called, ‘The gun is on the front stoop of the porch,’ and her and her friend are downtown right now being interviewed,” Sergeant Dave Walker said.

The woman also told officers that ex-boyfriend had a history of stalking her.

In Jackson, Tennessee;

Jackson police said a 34-year-old Lexington man kicked in the door at one of the apartments. Officers said a person inside then shot the suspect. Police said the suspect ignored warnings not to come inside the apartment.

Investigators said the suspect was seriously injured and went to a hospital in Memphis. His condition is unknown at this time.

From Mount Forest Township, Michigan;

A 43-year-old man is dead after kicking in the door of his girlfriend’s rural home and being shot by her mom’s boyfriend.

About 1:30 a.m. on Friday, July 6, Michigan State Police troopers responded to a shooting at a house in the 4700 block of Bay-Gladwin County Line Road near Rhodes in Bay County’s Mount Forest Township. A man had called his 31-year-old girlfriend and threatened her, said Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser.

A short time later, the man showed up and kicked in a door that his girlfriend had deadbolted shut. The man proceeded to assault her, her mom, and her mom’s 65-year-old boyfriend, Kaiser said.

During the attack, the mom’s boyfriend retrieved a handgun and shot the intruder once in his chest. The intruder died of his wound before troopers arrived, Kaiser said.

From Dallas, Texas;

On June 25 at about 2:30 a.m., Dallas Police responded to a shooting call at Gabby Hall Auto Parts at 8365 C F Hawn Freeway. The owner of the shop, 52-year-old Rusom Tsegu, told police he shot and killed an unknown intruder.

Tsegu was interviewed by detectives and released pending a ruling from the Dallas County Grand Jury.

Detectives are now hoping the public can help identify the man who was shot and killed.
