Police in Texas say ‘armed citizen’ shot robbers at fast-food restaurant, killing 1 suspect

Texas authorities say an armed customer intervened during the attempted robbery of a fried chicken fast food restaurant, fatally wounding one gunman and sending a second suspect struck by gunfire to the hospital.

Port Arthur police responded around 8:45 p.m. Friday to an aggravated robbery happening at the Church’s Chicken location at 1849 Jefferson Drive. Detectives learned that two suspects armed with handguns were robbing the restaurant, but an armed citizen intervened and a shootout ensued.

“Several shots were fired and both suspects were struck,” the Port Arthur Police Department said in a press release. “The suspects fled the scene and were later located by police officers.”

One of the suspects was later pronounced dead at an area hospital, police said. The second was located at Normandy Apartments, KFDM reported, and was brought to the emergency room for treatment.

The armed citizen remained at the scene, was questioned by detectives and then released. The incident is still under active investigation by Port Arthur Police’s Criminal Investigations Division. It happened just a day after another armed robbery at a Jack in the Box in the same town, Port Arthur Police Chief Tim Duriso told KFDM it was not immediately clear whether the same two suspects were responsible.

OSBI investigating after intruder shot and killed during burglary at Guthrie home

GUTHRIE, Okla. (KFOR) – A deadly shooting occurred early Friday morning just north of the metro. A homeowner opened fire on an intruder inside his home and now the search is on for at least one other suspect who got away.

“Where are you at right now?” said the 911 dispatcher.

“I’m hunkered down in the living room,” the homeowner said.

“What’s going on?” the 911 dispatcher said.

“Burglary. A person has been shot,” said the homeowner. “Oh my God.”

This call came into Logan County dispatch early Friday morning.

“Can you hurry?” said the homeowner.

“Yes sir. I’ve got people headed that way already,” the 911 dispatcher said.

Norman man shot while inside home, police believe incident connected to string of shootings into homes
The homeowner called for help, saying more than one person had broken into his home and that he opened fire on the intruders.

“I shot the other person,” said the homeowner.

“Where did you shoot one of the burglars?” said the 911 dispatcher.

“I think the upper right shoulder,” said the homeowner.

“Where in the house did you shoot them?” said the 911 dispatcher.

“Living room,” said the homeowner.

A Guthrie-area burglary ended with one of the two suspects shot and killed.
The shooting happened at a rural Logan County home just southwest of Guthrie.

“The homeowner reported there were multiple people. At least two, maybe three, that he could hear in his home,” said Brook Arbeitman, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

“He retrieved his gun and fired his weapon at the intruders. It was 2:30. It was dark. As soon as he fired his gun, he called 911 to report the incident.”

The gunfire struck one woman who was pronounced dead at the scene.

A nearby neighbor told KFOR the owner had noticed things missing from the house and chose to stay the night.

The 911 call confirmed previous burglaries.

“They’ve pilfered this place numerous times, stealing everything, everything I’ve got,” said the homeowner.

Items were left lying in the grass outside the home, including a small dirt bike by the road, believed to be left by one of the burglars.

OSBI is leading the investigation, still searching for the others involved.

“Nobody is in custody at this point,” Arbeitman said.

OSBI officials tell us they are working to identify the woman’s next of kin. Her name hasn’t been released to us yet.

ILLINOIS VALLEY BREAK-IN, ASSAULT SUSPECT HELD AT GUNPOINT BY NEIGHBORS

CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. — A man who broke into a woman’s home and attacked her in front of her child late Tuesday night was detained and held at gunpoint by neighbors until deputies arrived, according to the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies received reports of an assault and shots fired in the 700-block of Caves Highway just after midnight. Upon arrival, the deputies found 31-year-old Justin Thurman being held at gunpoint by several neighbors.

According to the Sheriff’s Office investigation, Thurman forced his way into a home in along Caves Highway. Once inside, he assaulted a woman in front of her child, stole property from her home, then tried to get away in a pickup truck.

While the man was driving off through the yard, he reportedly hit a parked car, smashed into a children’s play structure, then crashed into another house on the property and damaged it.

As Thurman continued trying to get away, the Sheriff’s Office said that a neighbor confronted him with a gun and shot out the tires on his truck to disable it. A group of neighbors then forced him out of the pickup and held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived.

The Sheriff’s Office said that Thurman, who knew the female victim, was arrested and taken to the Josephine County Jail on two counts of Burglary I and single counts of Attempted Assault IV, Attempted Assault III, Criminal Mischief I, Criminal Mischief II, Criminal Mischief II, DUII, Reckless Endangerment, and Reckless Driving.

Anderson woman shoots and kills man suspected of breaking into her home

ANDERSON, Ind. — An Anderson woman shot and killed a man suspected of breaking into her home overnight.

911 dispatchers received a call from a female homeowner in the 1300 block of E. 8th Street around 12:47 a.m. The woman told police there was a break-in at the home, and she shot the suspected burglar.

By the time police arrived, they found the alleged suspect dead in an upstairs bedroom.

With home surveillance cameras rolling, prosecutors insist a man forced his way into the woman’s home.

Prosecutors ‘insist‘ ?

“Neighbors had videos of him parking in front of the residence and looking through windows, ultimately breaking through the door and pulling a weapon out,” said Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings.

Prosecutor Cummings says the suspect could also be heard on video asking for money and pretending to be law enforcement.

“There was audio, and you could hear what he was saying inside. He said, ‘It’s the police.’ He was claiming to be police officer, but he had a mask on,” said Cummings.

After retreating upstairs, police claim the homeowner shot the suspect then ran to a neighbor’s house, and police were called.

Police ‘claim‘ ?

“You know seeing it a few houses down, it’s unnerving for sure,” said neighbor Anthony Alfarano.

Anthony lives along 8th street and carries a firearm himself.  He believes, if the case is proven to be a home invasion, the woman had a right to defend her home and her children.

“Self protection is your right in your home,” said Alfarano.

“Inside a person’s house they can use deadly force, and that’s called the castle doctrine,” said attorney Mario Massillamany.

Attorney Massillamany, who isn’t involved with the case, also points out state lawmakers recently expanded the castle doctrine to provide even greater civil and criminal protections to homeowners.

“The castle doctrine in Indiana is a pretty strong law. You do not have a duty to retreat,” said Massillamany.

“In your home is probably the most protected place you can be,” said Cummings. “If you’re breaking into someone’s home in the middle of the night, if you don’t get shot or killed you should feel fortunate.”

For their part, Anderson police did not want to comment on the shooting but say the case remains an active investigation.

The Madison County coroner later identified the man killed as 40-year-old Jeffery Flowers.

The scene is just a few block south of Anderson University, although there is not believed to be a connection.

Fatal shooting at Victoria apartments occurred during home invasion

A Victoria [Texas]apartment shooting that left one man dead occurred as he and a group of people attempted to force their way into a resident’s home, authorities said Friday.

The resident, who was injured in the shooting, exchanged gunfire with the group, and the group fled the scene before police arrived, according to a Victoria Police Department news release.

It is unclear how many people were involved in the shooting or whether they were associated with the resident. Department spokeswoman Lauren Meaux declined to answer those questions, citing an ongoing investigation.

The man found dead at the scene by police was identified as Jacob Escobedo, 19, of Brady. Escobedo was part of the group that attempted to force their way into the home, Meaux said.

The resident, who was identified as Keanu Sanchez, 25, of Victoria, suffered injuries authorities determined were not life-threatening, according to a department news release.

On Tuesday at 6:54 p.m., police were dispatched to Victoria Place Apartments, 701 E. Airline Road after receiving calls about gunshots in the area. After arriving just minutes later, they discovered Escobedo’s body and Sanchez, who was injured.

An autopsy conducted by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Escobedo’s cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.

No arrests had been made in the case as of Friday evening.

Meaux declined to disclose Sanchez’s current condition.

“This is an active and ongoing investigation. Additional information is not available at this time,” Meaux said.

Meaux said investigators think the shooting was an isolated incident.

DITTMER, Mo. (AP) — Authorities in eastern Missouri are investigating the death of a 40-year-old theft suspect killed by an arrow shot by a juvenile, who said the man came at him menacingly.

Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak on Tuesday announced details of the incident that happened Friday near the town of Dittmer. The man killed was identified as Michael Stotts of Dittmer.

An attorney for the juvenile’s family told authorities that the juvenile was walking to a tree stand to hunt deer with a bow and arrow. He allegedly saw Stotts trying to steal a lawn tractor and wood splitter.

The juvenile called his father, who arrived and confronted Stotts. Authorities say that during the confrontation, Stotts ran toward the juvenile.

The attorney said the juvenile warned Stotts several times. When Stotts didn’t stop, the juvenile fired the arrow.

69-year-old woman shoots, kills home intruder in North Olmsted
NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio (WOIO) – A 21-year-old woman was shot and killed after police said she forced her way into a couple’s North Olmsted home.
According to the North Olmsted Police Department, the woman broke into the husband and wife’s home on Mastick Road just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
Police said the intruder fought with the 72-year-old husband. It was then that the 69-year-old wife grabbed their gun and pulled the trigger, hitting the intruder in the stomach.

Operator: “You heard the gun inside the residence?

Female Homeowner: “No, I shot the gun.”

Police identified the intruder as Keyarra Tompkins, of Cleveland. She was taken to the hospital, where she later died.

The homeowners told police they did not know Tompkins.

The thought of this being a random act sent chills down the spine of neighbor Tatyana Wargo.

“I had goosebumps all over my body,” Wargo told 19 News.

The terrifying ordeal happened just feet from Wargo’s home, prompting her to take new precautions.

She has a Ring doorbell at her front door, but says it wasn’t active when the intruder struck her neighbor’s home.

Wargo told 19 News on Monday she planned to reactivate her subscription with Ring right away.

“I was going to do it last night, but we didn’t because we were decorating and I’m doing it today,” she said.

Police said the homeowners have not been charged and are continuing to investigate to figure out why Tompkins picked that particular home in that particular neighborhood.

Two arrested after Jefferson County homeowner shoots burglar

JEFFERSON COUNTY — The owner of a home near Festus fatally shot a man during an early morning burglary Thursday, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office said.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies were called around 1:40 a.m. to the 400 block of Sequoia Drive and found a man later identified as 36-year-old Wayne D. Roam, of House Springs, lying dead on the porch, according to court documents.

The homeowner told deputies he heard a knock on his door and asked who was there. An unfamiliar voice replied, and a person was shaking the doorknob as if trying to enter the house.

The frightened homeowner got his revolver, opened the door and found two men standing on the porch with masks on, court documents said.

One of the men reached inside the home and sprayed mace. The homeowner fired his gun, ran back inside, locked the door and called 911, deputies said.

As they interviewed the homeowner later, deputies saw a Nissan SUV driving away from the area. They stopped the vehicle and questioned the driver and a front-seat passenger, court documents said.

The two men had “conflicting stories” about why they were in the area and deputies noticed the passenger’s shirt had red stains on it, believed to be blood, charging documents said.

The passenger was later identified as 29-year-old Sean Ramsey, of Festus. He and the driver were arrested on outstanding warrants at the scene.

Ramsey is now facing charges with second-degree murder because a death occurred during a crime, charges said. He was also charged with first-degree burglary and third-degree assault.

Around 5:20 a.m., officers were called to a shooting at the restaurant in Albuquerque.
