Palmetto city commissioner shoots intruder in self-defense, police say
By Nicole L. Cvetnic
A Palmetto city commissioner shot a man in self-defense after that man broke into his home after crashing into his neighbor’s house while fleeing from a traffic stop, according to police.
The suspect, Avelino Misreal Vasquez-Perez, is also a nearby neighbor.
At about 10p.m. Thursday, Palmetto police officers spotted Vasquez-Perez driving recklessly, thought he was impaired and attempted to pull him over, according to Chief of Police Scott Tyler.
Instead, Vasquez-Perez sped off, only to crash a few blocks later into a home in the 600 block of Fourth Street West.
Vasquez-Perez and his passenger ran from the crash, but officers were able to quickly catch his passenger. As police set up a perimeter around the neighborhood looking for him, Vasquez-Perez climbed a fence into Palmetto Commissioner Brian Williams’ backyard and broke into the garage of his home in an apparent attempt to hide from police.
Williams’ daughter, who lives next door, spotted Vasquez-Perez and called her dad. Williams armed himself, then heard Vasquez-Perez trying to get into the kitchen from the garage. Vasquez-Perez was then confronted by Williams at gunpoint. Vasquez-Perez attempted to push past and punch Williams, who then pushed Vasquez-Perez back and shot him twice, according to Tyler.

One person was critically injured in a shooting during an armed robbery in south Wichita on Friday afternoon, officials said.
Wichita police were called to the 2700 block of South Seneca at around 2:44 p.m. for a reported armed robbery, a Sedgwick County dispatch supervisor said. One shooting victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition, the supervisor said.
Lt. Chris Halloran said a customer at the checkout counter of the B and H Fast Trips convenience store shot at least one of four people trying to rob the store.
“A customer was in line when four individuals came in at gunpoint and demanded money,” he said. “The citizen also got robbed and the citizen pulled a gun and shot at the suspects.”

New Year’s Eve, be responsible, reasonable, and rational. I’m pretty secure- a small get-together at la Casa de AW1Ed, dinner and champers at midnight, Muffy, then watching the festivities on the 60 inch mofo on the wall. Any celebratory gunfire must be from those annoying redneck neighbors, Deputy.
Peace and a blessed, healthy, happy New Year to the best Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes on the planet.
AW1&Mrs send.

Is that LCpl Rhodes GF in the painting?
In his dreams, 26L, in his dreams. ‘sides, she look like she’d put up with a misogynist?
Naw, that’s our version of Joan of Arc.
Joan of ArcLight.
I see that.
Kinda looks like Sandra Bullock.
Said a friend.
Your friend must have missed how scrawny Ms. Bullock’s arms are. Not to mention a couple other obvious differences.
“Any celebratory gunfire must be from those annoying redneck neighbors, Deputy.” Don’t forget to police the brass.
The suspect, ( ), is also a neighbor.
Some neighbor. Some neighborhood.

There’s a Wichita Eagle copydesk editor who might want to step away from the bong. The headline falsely quotes a police lieutenant for saying “head area” when what he actually said is just “head.” Also, the robber who was shot by the customer, a 16-year-old whose name has not been released, died of the head wound at the hospital. Making him dead over there (DOT).
An Eagle follow-up story also says the cops have reason to believe the 16-year-old who died was part of a three-member crew who robbed a nearby Family Dollar store earlier the same afternoon.
You beat Sister Mary Grace to the punch.
Update scheduled for tomorrow. Thanks for the follow-up, PG.
A DRT and WOT makes a good start to the end of the year. Family Dollar must have a franchise for crooks in training. The metro area near here is covered up with them; in some of the most dangerous ‘hoods in the city. In some of the stores it’s an every other to 3 day hold up or break in.
The female depicted would whip Lcpl Rhodes just for gits and shiggles. Because…well…you know…she can! And then she would leave him for an older gentleman that knows how to treat a lady.
Now that poster girl is a Chick I really dig and she’s the apple of my eye. Gee that sounds like the intro to Pizza Pie by the Bronx’s Norman Fox and the Robroys.
Anyone know what political party the Palmetto Commish. belongs to?
No, but I think he used to work for NBC news.
I’m so stupid. It just dawned on me, despite the fireworks pic, and the warning about shooting into the air (without a proper backstop…..or a felon), what the hell “NYE” means.
That’s it. I’m switching back to regular Coors for the New Year.
