Thursday morning feel good stories
From Houston, Texas;
Investigators tell Eyewitness News that around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday the woman was standing in the driveway next to the couple’s Suburban when the incident happened.
The man says he was inside the home when he heard his wife screaming.
When he went to the window, he saw two men with guns trying to push and drag his wife into the home. Police say he grabbed his pistol, went outside and confronted them.
He and the suspects exchanged gunfire. One of the suspects was shot. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Authorities say the suspect is 22-years-old. They have not yet released his name.
The second gunman got away.
The homeowner and his wife are okay.
The homeowner watched too many cop shows and shot the criminal in the head while the criminal was using the homeowner’s wife as a shield
From Hummelstown, Pennsylvania;

A resident confronted the intruders and exchanged gunfire with one of them. Two shots were fired before the intruders fled.

But you have to admit, head shot, under stress is decent shooting. But the bad part it is harder to defend in court. Hopefully he does not get charged and hope he has a good lawyer for the lawsuit from the scumbags family.
Won’t be a lawsuit. The counter-suit would end paying everything to the victim and more. This is why families of bad guys never sue victims. Now if the police had killed him it would be another thing altogether.
That store owner in Florida who shot the fleeing shoplifter over the beer yesterday is looking at a bad lawsuit. But he got arrested.
Good point. Do you have a link to the Florida one? I heard something about that. Was it in one of the earlier feel goods?
Yeah, he is screwed.
The Houston story sounds like a good reason to regularly practice head-shots on a hostage target.
But can you imagine the wife’s thoughts as she sees her husband pointing a gun at them while she is hostage? I’d need to take Mrs. GB for a week in the mountains to recoup.
Not to mention the potential downside if someone twitches. People watch ‘way too many movies. And only critical? Sounds like a high-dollar graze.
