Ex-Girlfriend shoots intruder dead; investigation ongoing

TULSA, OKLA. (KTUL) — Tulsa Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened early Tuesday morning near 124th Terrace and Kingston Avenue.

Officers were called to the scene around 2:45 a.m., where they found 27-year-old Sean Six suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.

He was transported to a local hospital but later died from his injuries.

According to homicide detectives, the investigation indicates Six forced his way into a home where his former girlfriend was staying with a friend.

Police say the woman’s friend fired a shot after Six came inside the residence.

The individual who discharged the weapon was interviewed by detectives and later released as the investigation continues.

Hero ROTC cadet fatally stabbed ISIS-supporting Old Dominion gunman to prevent more carnage

A heroic ROTC student fatally stabbed the crazed ISIS-linked gunman who opened fire inside an Old Dominion University classroom Thursday, preventing further carnage, law enforcement sources said.

Shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, gunned down an instructor before the unidentified cadet jumped into action to put an end to the suspected terror attack on the Virginia college campus, according to sources.

Jalloh, who was previously convicted of trying to support ISIS, walked into the classroom and asked if it was an ROTC class, sources told The Post.

When someone told him it was, he began his trail of bloodshed, which the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

Within an hour of the shooting, school officials said there was no longer a threat to staff or students.

“The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.

The instructor, a retired military officer, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Two other victims were also wounded in the hail of bullets, but appear to be in stable condition, authorities said.

One of the victims brought themselves to the hospital, said Old Dominion University Police Chief Garrett Shelton at a press conference.

Both wounded victims are members of the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at the university, said Lt. Col. Jimmy Delongchamp.

“We will continue to coordinate with the university and law enforcement agencies as they investigate the incident,” Delongchamp told the Associated Press. “There’s still a lot more stuff we have to work out.”

Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone, was a member of the Virginia National Guard before he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, but was released from custody early in 2024, sources said.

“Old Dominion University faced a tragedy on our main campus,” Old Dominion University president Brian Hemphill said in a statement.

“I am grateful for the swift response of our police officers, emergency management personnel, and our partners at the City of Norfolk who promptly assisted the injured.”

Boy, 11, shoots, kills mom’s boyfriend who attacked her inside home, police say

An 11-year-old boy shot and killed his mother’s boyfriend after the man attacked her inside a Philadelphia home late Thursday night, police said.

The shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. inside a home along the 1100 block of South Peach Street. Police said a 30-year-old man, identified as Jaimeer Jones-Walker of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was arguing with his girlfriend inside the bedroom of her home.

Police said Jones-Walker didn’t live at the home and he double parked on the street before entering his girlfriend’s house. The woman told police that Jones-Walker attacked her during their argument.

“It was verbal and possibly turned into a physical altercation,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

The woman’s 11-year-old son then grabbed a handgun and fired one shot, shooting Jones-Walker in the face, according to investigators.

Police and medics were called to the scene and found Jones-Walker unresponsive inside the second-floor bedroom. He was pronounced dead by medics at 11:59 p.m.

Both the woman and her son remained at the scene and are cooperating with the investigation, police said. Officials said the gun that was fired is legally registered to the woman.

Shyreea Blocker, a resident in the neighborhood, told NBC10 she heard the commotion that led to the shooting. She also said she would often hear the couple fighting.

“Like arguing and fighting but that’s nothing new with them,” Blocker said. “It’s a shame. It shouldn’t be like that.”

Another resident, Gilbert Blocker, told NBC10 he was concerned about the impact the shooting will have on the boy.

“The things he’s going to suffer in his heart if he has any feelings, is going to last him not just now but for the rest of his life,” he said.

Sources told NBC10 the boy is currently staying with another family member.

Expert weighs in after child accused of killing mom’s boyfriend

A Philadelphia mother says that her 11-year-old son pulled out a gun to protect her. NBC10’s Siobhan McGirl spoke with an expert about how domestic violence affects children and what resources are available.

“It’s disturbing and sad. And I feel apprehension about what is going to happen with this child, what is going to happen with his mother,” Director of Philadelphia’s Office of Domestic Violence Strategies Azucena Ugarte told NBC10. “Experiencing violence in the home has long term effects, but we know that children are resilient.”

No arrests have been made in the shooting and no charges have been filed. Police continue to investigate.

Suspected burglar was shot by Provo resident

PROVO — A Colorado man who police say entered a random house uninvited was shot by one of the residents and later arrested on Thursday.

Lance Andre Hunter, 41, of Aurora, Colorado, was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of burglary, criminal mischief, two counts of theft, vehicle burglary and assault.

Utah County sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the South Fork Neighborhood of Provo Canyon about 8 p.m. Thursday after Hunter allegedly entered the home uninvited. The home sits on a large piece of property that includes a hangar and a helicopter, according to the sheriff’s office. Hunter is believed to have burglarized the hangar before going to the house.

Once inside the home, Hunter was confronted by the homeowner’s adult son. Hunter began yelling at the people in the home, prompting two women to run into an upstairs bedroom and lock the door, a police booking affidavit states.

After Hunter pushed past the son, he went upstairs and “was attempting to kick in the door to the room they had locked themselves in.” That’s when the son reengaged Hunter, this time armed with a gun, according to the affidavit.

Detectives were told that “the son fired multiple shots at the suspect before the male fled, leaving behind a firearm he had taken from the residents. The suspect was then seen fleeing to a helicopter hangar near the residence,” the affidavit says.

Despite being shot once, police say Hunter stole a vehicle at the hangar that had the keys still inside and tried to leave the area, but was stopped by responding deputies.

“The suspect would not comply with deputies’ commands and had to be wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. The suspect was taken to Utah Valley (Hospital) and treated for his gunshot wound before he was transported and booked into Utah County Jail,” according to the affidavit.

A spokesman with the sheriff’s office says the investigation into Hunter’s activities was still ongoing Friday. Investigators believe another vehicle found in the area was used by Hunter to arrive at the home. Why Hunter chose that home and whether he is responsible for additional burglaries remained under investigation.

Des Moines homeowner shoots alleged intruder during late-night break-in

DES MOINES, Iowa —

A 46-year-old woman is facing a felony charge after police say she forced her way into a Union Park home late Saturday night and was shot by the homeowner.

Des Moines police officers were called just before 11 p.m. to a residence in the 1500 block of Guthrie Avenue after a 911 caller reported that an intruder was attacking the homeowner. While officers were en route, the caller told dispatchers that the intruder had been shot.

When officers arrived, they found Stannita Wilson inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers provided first aid until Des Moines Fire Department rescue personnel arrived and transported Wilson to MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center for treatment.

According to investigators, the homeowner reported hearing someone yelling in the backyard, followed by banging on the back door. When the homeowner unlocked the door, Wilson allegedly forced her way inside and began assaulting the resident.

Police said the homeowner, who was armed with a handgun, shot Wilson during the confrontation.

Wilson’s injuries were described as minor. After being treated and released from the hospital, she was charged with second-degree burglary, a Class C felony.

Police said Wilson was not known to the homeowner. As of Sunday, no charges had been filed against the homeowner.

The incident remains under investigation

Man reportedly killed in self defense in Springfield ID’d; neighbors shocked it happened

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) — Police are investigating after an early morning shooting in Springfield Friday.

Officers were sent to a home in the 1700 block of Maiden Lane at 12:56 a.m. on a report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, they located a man, later identified as Anthony Walker Jr., 28, who had been shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead by Springfield Fire Rescue Division medics.

Authorities say the shooting was in self-defense, and that there are no threats to the public.

Neighbors in the area who say incidents like these are rare for this neighborhood.

They said that this area is typically quiet and that fireworks were the loudest disturbances they were used to.

One person said the fireworks they thought they’d heard early in the morning turned out to be gunshots.

“We heard about five pops and thought someone’s shooting fireworks again,” said a neighbor, who says she has lived nearby for years. “They started roping off the area so we knew something was up.

“It’s just like a quiet small town.”

The neighbor says they were stunned learning someone had been killed.

“We were pretty shocked that kind of excitement unfortunately coming around here,” she says. “It’s not normal. Not at all.”

Other neighbors shared the sentiment: This is not the area where things like this happen.

Neighbors stunned after burglary suspect was shot by homeowner in New Castle

NEW CASTLE, Pa. — “It’s just crazy to know that that was just right next door.”

That’s how one neighbor on South Jefferson Street in New Castle was feeling Tuesday.

Early Monday morning, police said a neighbor on her street shot a man in the leg after they said the man broke into the home.

The neighbor didn’t want to be on camera, but said her street is always quiet.

“I’ve been here for four years, and this is a very quiet street,” she told Channel 11’s Andrew Havranek. “The kids go out and play every day, I mean, they’re always nonstop running around outside. It’s very quiet, nobody bothers you, I mean, the kids go to church right up the street, so that was just very alarming when I heard that. It was just like…Wow.”

Lt. Steven Brooks with the New Castle Police told Channel 11 the suspect is still in a Youngstown hospital and might be for some time. Charges have not been filed and he said the investigation is still ongoing.

Brooks said the man and the homeowner did not know each other. Right now, police do not expect charges to be filed against the homeowner.

“I’m so thankful he was able to protect his family,” the neighbor said. “I mean, luckily, he had that on him and he was able to do that. Sorry, it had to go to those lengths, but luckily he was there at that time to make sure his family was safe.”

That neighbor said she has cameras, but they didn’t catch anything.

“I definitely think I’ll be way more alert, definitely on high alert as of right now, just until everything’s under wraps and they figure out why they did it,” she said.

Dan Bongino Breaks Down What Just Happened at Mar-a-Lago

Early Sunday morning, the U.S. Secret Service shot and killed a man in his twenties after he breached the secure perimeter at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida. The incident occurred around 1:30 AM, and according to officials, the man was observed near the north gate of the property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.

No Secret Service protectees were present at the time.

Dan Bongino, the former FBI deputy director, appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend Sunday morning to break down what happened.

“Breaching the property, if what we have from the early reports is accurate, and we have no reason to believe otherwise, with a gas can and a shotgun, it appears the intent seems built in,” Bongino told host Charlie Hurt.

Mar-a-Lago is no ordinary location to stumble into. Bongino, who knows the property well, pointed out that serious security upgrades have already been made — particularly on the north side, where the incident occurred. “That side of the property, the north side of the property over there, they’ve made a number of significant security enhancements,” he said, adding that significant money has been poured into technology and physical security at the site.

Bongino noted that in the end, it was a human being who made the call. “Ultimately, in the end, you know, there was an interdiction here by a human being, and they’re gonna be the ones who are obviously the decision makers,” Bongino said. Under the law, that decision requires a specific threshold. “In order to enact any kind of deadly force, which happened in this case, you have to have a fear of serious physical injury or death. It appears the agent or officer who was involved thought that to be the case.” He didn’t leave much ambiguity about why: “The early reporting of a weapon seems to indicate the obvious reason why.”

That said, it’s also worth noting here is that this was a team effort. Bongino pushed back on the Hollywood image of lone Secret Service agents with earpieces as the only line of defense. “It’s not just Secret Service agents. You see that in these movies, it’s always the Secret Service agents with the earpiece, but we rely heavily on the fantastic work of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and others.” Indeed, the official Secret Service statement confirmed that a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy was also involved in the shooting.

Bongino walked viewers through the procedural mechanics of what will happen next. The FBI, per a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Secret Service, will take over the crime scene — a safeguard designed to prevent any appearance of self-investigation. “If there was some kind of security lapse that required an investigation later, you wouldn’t want the Secret Service investigating themselves,” he explained. “So we’ll generally take over the crime scene, and there’s usually a smooth transition.”

The Secret Service confirmed in its statement that the involved agents have been placed on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation — standard protocol. The FBI, Secret Service, and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are all jointly investigating the incident, including the man’s background, potential motive, and the use of force.

Bongino said questions remain about how exactly the suspect got as close as he did. The north side of the property isn’t easy terrain to breach undetected. “Was there a backpack involved? Was there some security footage, some security cameras that may have been following this guy sooner?” he asked. “That’s the kind of stuff we’re gonna find out as the fact pattern starts to emerge.”

Deputies: Victim Stabs Intruder in Self-Defense During Early Morning Home Invasion

Two men were arrested after Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies say they forced their way into a residence and attacked the occupant, before fleeing after one was stabbed.

According to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office booking report, Kobi Issiah Torrealba Ruiz, 18, of Lauderhill, and Christian Micheal Chirino, 38, of Lauderhill, were arrested on February 14. Deputies say they responded to a reported home invasion at a Tamarac residence at approximately 5:00 a.m., in which the victim told deputies the men forced their way into his home while looking for his nephew.

Homeowner shoots suspect in Nassauville burglary attempt

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — An attempted home burglary in Nassau County turned into a shooting Wednesday night.

“If you break into somebody’s home, you should beg to get shot. And that’s exactly what happened,” said Sheriff Bill Leepe, with the Nassau County Sheriffs office.

The sheriff’s office said the shooting was in self-defense. Investigators [say] 18-year-old Anson Shawn Drew and a juvenile broke into a home on Clearwater Road in Nassauville. The report states the suspect pointed a flashlight at the homeowner, who then shot his revolver at the suspect in fear for his life.

The juvenile suspect is recovering at the hospital and is in stable condition after being shot in his lower back. Sheriffs office says both suspects tried to flee on foot after the shooting. The report states Drew left one of his shoes behind when he ran off. He was later arrested at his home.

“Individuals said they liked to break into vacant homes to smoke weed. This time, they broke into their own homes,” said Sheriff Leepe.

The sheriff’s office said the suspects didn’t have any marijuana on this occasion.

This wasn’t the first time the victim’s house had been broken into, as sheriffs say the house was burglarized about a month earlier, and he did have some firearms stolen.

Drew is in Nassau County jail on a bond of more than 10 thousand dollars, and the juvenile suspect will be charged pending a warrant for his arrest.

Deadly Stockton Flea Market shooting was an act of self-defense during robbery, police say

STOCKTON, Calif. — A shooting at the Stockton Flea Market earlier this month that left two men dead and a woman wounded has been ruled a case of self-defense during a robbery, Stockton police said on Tuesday.

Stockton police said Wednesday that employees at the business involved are not currently being charged, police said.

“This individual came, was walking out of my booth with the gun pointing, and I threw myself on the floor when I saw him,” he said. “There was an exchange of fire between my son and them. My son is the one who saved my life for the second time, so I’m pretty much blessed that he was around again for the second time.”
