By Lucia I. Suarez Sang
A U.S. Army civilian employee living in western Germany used a kitchen knife to fend off a group of men who tried to force their way into his home – stabbing and possibly killing one during the confrontation, local police said.

Police said the apartment owner – only identified as a 41-year-old American – stabbed one of the suspected burglars several times while fighting him off inside his home in the town of Landstuhl on Sunday.

The robbers initially fled by car, but a short time later, a 43-year-old injured man was found lying on a street in the nearby village of Krickenbach, Stars and Stripes reported.

The man died from his injuries while his 51-year-old brother called for help. The older man was arrested by police.

Deputies: Business owner held thief at gunpoint

Staff report
A theft suspect met his match when he tried to haul off a pickup truck load of tools from the Cronland Lumber Yard on Highway 73.

Deputies were dispatched to the business at around 5:40 p.m. on Feb. 7 in response to a breaking and entering in progress. When they arrived on the scene the business owner, Stan Cronland, had the suspect out of his truck and on the ground at gunpoint, according to a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Cronland told officers he was pulling into the business when he saw a white pickup truck parked by one of the buildings. He saw the truck try to leave the scene so he turned his vehicle around and accelerated to cut the suspect off before he got to the gate.

He held the man at gunpoint until deputies arrived on the scene.

The man, identified as Matthew Stone Hulett, 32, of Highway 73 in Lincolnton, told the owner that he had taken items from one of the buildings and the items were on the back of the truck. Cronland said the suspect begged him not to call the police because he had been in prison before.

Police: Intended victim shoots back injuring attempted robbery suspect

By Eryn Taylor
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — New information has been released after a man showed up to a local Taco Bell injured during a shooting.

According to police, Jamario Dotson called 911 from the 5320 Knight Arnold Road location early Monday morning stating he had been shot in the foot while driving his silver Acura with Kentucky tags down the street.

Shortly after Dotson made his call, another man contacted authorities saying he’d just shot a man who was trying to rob him in the 3400 block of Castleman.

The man stated he was driving home from work when he noticed a silver Acura following him. Once he reached his driveway, he said the suspect jumped out of his car and approached him asking “where the cash was at.” The suspects then pulled out a gun and began shooting.

Fearing for his safety, the man said he also pulled out his weapon and returned fire, apparently striking the suspect in the foot before he fled.

The description that the attempted robbery victim gave to police matched Dotson, police said. He was arrested and charged with attempted aggravated robbery.
