Thursday morning feel good stories.

From MACON COUNTY, MO

Right now, authorities are still investigating the incident and trying to determine if any charges will be filed against the homeowner.  A man is dead after a Macon County homeowner shot and killed an intruder in his home early Tuesday morning.

Shortly before 4 a.m., the Macon County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a report of an intruder shot inside a residence.  Deputies responded to the scene on Macon County Route UU, northwest of Callao, Missouri.  Officers spoke with the homeowner at the scene and determined that the suspect used a ladder to get into the house through a second-story sliding glass door that had been left open.

Investigators said the suspect then made his way to the first floor and first threatened the homeowner in his bedroom with an air nailer.  After a brief verbal altercation, authorities said the suspect then pulled a handgun on the homeowner.

That is when the homeowner fired at the suspect, hitting him in the upper body.

When deputies arrived, the suspect was found dead with a loaded handgun in his possession. The suspect had fired the handgun at least one time.  The homeowner was not injured.  Macon County Sheriff Kevin Shoemaker told KTVO that, at this time, his office is not releasing the names of those involved.

UPDATE: KTVO has now learned the name of the man fatally shot during an overnight home break-in outside Callao, Missouri.  Macon County Sheriff Kevin Shoemaker identifies the man as Jonathan Richardson, 37, of Gladstone, Missouri.

A woman shot her adult son over the weekend to stop him from attacking his father, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.

Truman Edward Fulfer, 33, died at the scene.

The Sheriff’s Office said Fulfer’s parents were cooperative with the investigation, and no arrests were made.

Fulfer reportedly threatened to kill his parents and was stabbing his father Sunday at the home in Weldon when his mother shot him.
