OKC Dispensary Owner Shoots Armed Robbery Suspect

OKLAHOMA CITY – A metro dispensary owner fought back Tuesday in an attempted armed robbery, police said.
According to Oklahoma City police, a robbery suspect was armed with knives, started making demands and smashing cases.

At last check, the man was hospitalized at OU Health in critical condition. Police and eyewitnesses said this crime is becoming all too common.

“They have a product that a lot of people want,” said Al Jenkins who lives nearby. “They’re a cash only businesses and they have a few things that criminals want. Something that’s untraceable like marijuana and then cash,” said Oklahoma City Police Lieutenant Isaac Goodman.

Jenkins lives near the dispensary at Northwest 23rd and Villa. After hearing a commotion, he went to investigate. “I just couldn’t understand why an alarm on the building would go on in the day,” said Jenkins.

He said police responded immediately. “I heard a screech, a tire screech. I didn’t know what it was until I came around the corner and it was police officers showing up on the scene,” said Jenkins.

According to police, the armed suspect stormed in and began making demands.“An armed subject came inside and started breaking display cases. He was armed with two knives threatening the owners inside the business,” said Goodman. After refusing to leave, police said the business owner took action. “The owner pulled a handgun and shot the suspect in defense of himself,” said Goodman.

Theta Hale works at a nearby dispensary and said it’s getting dangerous. “It is concerning. It makes you think if this is what you want to do,” said Hale.

Police said criminals should think twice “The majority of dispensaries in our city limits are staffed by folks that are armed because they know it’s a risky business and they also have very elaborate security systems,” said Goodman. No one else was injured in the shooting.

Appears that the California court system with its lax parole/probation policy is the proximate cause of the crime increase. Of course, another way to look at it is that the courts are thinking that a significant number of homeowners will likely solve the criminal problem the old fashioned way.

California homeowner shoots, kills armed intruder after man kicks down door

FAIRFIELD, Calif. (KTXL) – A Northern California homeowner fatally shot an armed man – who was on parole for another home invasion – after he kicked down the homeowner’s door Tuesday morning, police say.

On Tuesday, a piece of plywood covering the front door of the home on Vintage Valley Drive in Fairfield is the only sign that something happened.

“I’m kind of blown away,” neighbor Nathan Biggs said. “I’ve lived here all my life, 18 years. Probably the most eventful thing that’s happened in this neighborhood.”

Police said the couple in the home were having breakfast when they saw an unknown man through their Ring camera who knocked on their front door.

The homeowners didn’t answer.

“The suspect did ultimately kick the door down, kicked it off the hinges and attempted to make entry into the house,” said Fairfield Police Department’s Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen. “The homeowner defended themselves, fired rounds. The suspect ended up fleeing and [the homeowner] obviously called us, asked for us to come and help him.”

When officers arrived, they found the intruder across the street, suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the chest.

Despite first responders doing CPR, the man died at the scene.

“He was in possession of a semi-automatic handgun that was loaded with an extended magazine,” Jacobsen said.

Neighbors were concerned for the welfare of the homeowners, stopping by, even bringing flowers.

“They’re a wonderful family. And they’re well-liked in the community. And I’m just really grateful that nothing more serious might have happened to them,” said Cordelia resident Tamer Totah.

….when one of her friends took his gun and shot him, according to the arrest report. However police are still trying to determine who shot him.

The person who pulled the trigger could be facing a charge of battery with the use of a deadly weapon resulting in substantial bodily harm…..

And idiotic statements like this is why it will never be definitely determined just who shot the thug.

Man beating woman at Sahara Las Vegas was shot with his own gun

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man shot at the Sahara Las Vegas on Sunday, June 27 was in the process of beating a woman when one of her friends took his gun and shot him, according to the arrest report. However police are still trying to determine who shot him.

The shooting happened around 11:30 a.m. in a hotel hallway on the 22nd floor. That’s where police found Brandon Dangerfield suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen.

According to Dangerfield’s arrest report, his former girlfriend said he had shown up uninvited to her birthday party at a hotel room on the 22nd floor and then tried pulling her out of the room through the front door after threatening to shoot her girlfriends.

During the physical fight, the ex-girlfriend told police, Dangerfield choked her, hit her in the face, and dragged her face across the carpet causing a “rug burn on her right temple and swelling to both eyes.” In addition, the officers noted Dangerfield’s hands on her neck caused petechiae (broken capillary blood vessels) to her right eye, the report said.

During this fight, the woman’s girlfriends attempted to protect her which resulted in “Dangerfield suffering numerous scratches on his face and chest.”

“It is believed during the fight the women had with Dangerfield, one of them was able to obtain Dangerfield’s gun and shoot him,” the report said.

The person who pulled the trigger could be facing a charge of battery with the use of a deadly weapon resulting in substantial bodily harm.

At one point, Dangerfield’s injuries were considered life-threatening but following surgery doctors said he would survive the gunshot wound.

Dangerfield is facing a charge of battery domestic violence strangulation and was booked into Clark County Detention Center in absentia.

People who live in the neighborhood were so nervous that they didn’t feel comfortable talking on camera.

Sheriff Travis says he has kept in close contact with the mom. She told him her son is doing OK, and that she has already taken the steps to get him the help he needs.

“The support of the family and the community in the fact that the mother is understanding that he’s going to need some treatment and need to talk to people and helping him understand that he’s a very normal person that was put in an abnormal situation,” said Travis.

This investigation is still on going. Any further details will be reported at the time it is deemed appropriate.

Orlando homeowner shoots intruder who broke in while girl was alone

ORLANDO, Fla. – A homeowner shot an intruder who broke into a home while their daughter was home alone Thursday afternoon, according to the Orlando Police Department.

The shooting was reported around 5:40 p.m. on Lake Arnold Place off Primrose Drive in the Lake Como neighborhood.

Police said the teen girl called their parents and said someone had broken into their home. Neighbors also noticed that a man in his 30s or 40s was acting strangely and called 911, records show.

That man was confronted by the homeowner, who returned home and shot the intruder as officers were arriving, according to an Orlando police news release. When police arrived the man was lying on the ground inside the home with a single gunshot wound, authorities said.

The intruder was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Homeowner shoots man who reportedly broke into home west of Springfield, Mo.

NEAR SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Authorities say a man who forced entry into a home west of Springfield was shot Friday morning.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting, which happened just after 6:30 Friday morning. Deputies went to a house in the 6000 block of West Independence. That is an outer road of I-44 near Highway MM, just west of Springfield.

A spokesman for the sheriff’s office says the initial call was for a possible residential burglary. When deputies arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound.

Investigators say that man forced entry through the front door of the house, then the homeowner shot him after a confrontation.

Sgt. Jason Winston says it is still early in the investigation but at this point, they don’t believe the homeowner knew the man who was shot.

“We have no idea what the motive was behind this,” said Greene County Deputy Jason Winston. “I’m sure detectives, when they do their interviews and things like that, they’ll find out more details. But as of now, it’s still early. It’s still fresh.”

Authorities have not yet determined a motive in the incident.

The Greene Sheriff’s Office says it’s too early to determine whether the homeowner was justified through Missouri’s stand your ground law. But they say the law is there to allow people to protect themselves when someone breaks into their home.

An investigation remains ongoing, but the sheriff’s office believes this was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.

Motorcyclist Killed in Fort Worth Road Rage Shooting Stopped Traffic, Pointed Gun at SUV Driver.

The driver of the SUV told police he shot the motorcyclist after the motorcyclist aimed a gun at the SUV driver, officials said.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Fort Worth police said Tuesday that the motorcyclist involved in a road rage incident on Interstate 35 last Friday died in the hospital after being shot by the driver of an SUV in a confrontation. Police said the confrontation happened after a near collision on the freeway.

The motorcyclist was driving in between lanes of traffic on the center white line of the highway, police said, when the SUV driver tried to change lanes without seeing the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist then parked in the road stopping traffic, got off his bike and walked toward the SUV driver with his gun drawn, officials said.

The driver of the SUV told police he shot the motorcyclist after the motorcyclist kept his weapon aimed at the vehicle even after the SUV driver told him that he had kids in the car. Instead, the motorcyclist walked toward the SUV with his gun pointed at the driver.

The SUV driver then got his own gun and shot the motorcyclist multiple times, telling officers he feared for his safety and that of his passengers, police said.

Fort Worth police said officers found the gun at the scene that the motorcyclist had at the time of the shooting. They said they have also interviewed multiple witnesses from the shooting.

The SUV driver has been cooperating with police and has not been arrested, officials said.

No charges filed in fatal home invasion in Yakima
Police say homeowner shot intruder found in daughter’s bedroom

YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima police said a 34-year-old man who shot and killed an intruder in his home Thursday night will not face charges at this time.

According to police, the 34-year-old arrived home about 7:45 p.m. at the Almost Sunshine RV Park on East N Street with his girlfriend and their six children — all between 7 and 14 years old — and found a stranger inside.

“The daughter went into her bedroom and found that there was a man in her bedroom,” Capt. Jay Seely said.

The mother grabbed her children, took them outside and called 911. She reportedly told dispatchers her boyfriend had grabbed a pistol and went to confront the burglar

Seely said while on the call, dispatchers could hear yelling in the background, followed by gunshots. Arriving officers found the family outside and uninjured; inside, they found a man dead with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.

“We do know that he forced his way into their house,” Seely said. “He pushed an air conditioning unit out of the bedroom window and climbed into the bedroom.”

The man was later identified as 38-year-old Joe Mendoza, who lived next door to the family. Seely said the motive is unclear at this point and investigators are still trying to determine what happened during the confrontation in the bedroom.

Seely said the family has had conversations with Mendoza before, but don’t understand why it happened.

“The neighbors are saying, ‘Yeah, he’s kinda odd, he’s looking in people’s windows and we don’t let our kids go out when he’s out,’” Seely said. “But there was never any indication he was going to go burglarize somebody’s home.”

According to Seely, Yakima County Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Brusic will not be filing charges , “unless the investigation determines that there is some other information that we weren’t aware of and at that point they can change course and file charges.”

Seely said they should know more about what happened after the autopsy, which is scheduled for Saturday.

Texas father shoots man peeping into 10-year-old daughter’s bedroom

A Texas father and licensed gun owner reportedly chased down a “peeping Tom” spotted gratifying himself outside his 10-year-old daughter’s window – before ultimately shooting him outside a nearby gas station, according to reports.

A husband and wife, whom authorities noted are both licensed handgun carriers, heard their young daughter scream from her bedroom around 10 p.m. Sunday after spotting a man inappropriately touching himself outside a window, KTRK-TV reported, citing Harris County Sheriff’s deputies.

“She looks over at the window and this guy is at her window,” the girl’s mother, who preferred not to be identified, told KPRC-TV, about what her daughter experienced. “He took my daughter’s innocence away.”

The couple armed with their handguns headed outside their home located 15000 block of W. Little York in Houston to confront the man, KPRC-TV reported. The father, who also preferred his name not be published, said he and his wife ordered the man to lie down in their front yard until police arrived – though the man did not comply. Instead, he headed toward across the street to a nearby Valero gas station.

Deputies said the girl’s mother held the man at gunpoint outside the gas station, as the father headed inside to tell the clerk to call 911. But that’s when the suspect began wrestling the woman for her gun. He managed to disarm the woman and pointed her own gun in her direction. But her husband soon raced outside the gas station and fired at the suspect out of fear he’d shoot his wife.

“We didn’t want this guy to get shot. We were waiting for police to detain him because I’m pretty sure if he did this to my children, he’s doing it to a lot of other children out here,” the woman told KPRC-TV. “We are praying for the suspect and we are also praying for his family.”

Deputies said the father shot the man three times.

But the father told KTRK-TV he believed he shot the man four times; twice in the chest, once in the stomach and once in the side. The sheriff’s office said the man was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition. His name has not been released.

Birmingham police Saturday afternoon identified the slain man as Josiah Bryant. He was 22 and lived in Birmingham.

The shooting happened at 7:45 a.m. at Hatcher’s Auto Transmission Center on Tuscaloosa Avenue.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said a store associate was opening the shop for business when an armed man entered and tried to rob him. “They engaged in a shootout,’’ Fitzgerald said.

The store associate remained on the scene and is fully cooperating with police, Fitzgerald said.
⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓ (why wasn’t this crim still in prison?)
Court records indicate Bryant pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery in 2018, and received a 20-year sentence with four years to serve.

He was brought up on probation revocation charges earlier this year. In April, a judge did not revoke his probation but extended it through 2024.

The deadly shooting is Birmingham’s 58th homicide in 2021. Of those, four have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.
