Homeowner shoots intruder attempting to break into Henry County home

HENRY COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) – An intruder was critically injured after being shot by a homeowner during an attempted break-in early Friday morning in southeast Henry County, according to Henry County Sheriff John Sproles.

At 1:45 a.m. Friday, Henry County deputies responded to a residence after a homeowner called 911 and reported someone was trying to break into his home. The homeowner had heard his dog barking and a voice outside.

When deputies arrived, they found a man lying on the front porch with a gunshot wound to the face.

Sproles said the intruder had broken two front windows and was reaching inside the home, attempting to pull the blinds down when the homeowner fired one shot from a 45-caliber handgun.

The intruder was airlifted to a hospital in Indianapolis, where he underwent surgery. He was listed in critical but stable condition.

Authorities have not released the intruder’s identity, but confirmed he’s had 135 prior interactions with law enforcement in Henry County, most of which were related to mental health issues.

Sproles said the case appears to be an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to the public. There was not a motive for the break-in.

The homeowner, who was home with his wife and three-year-old child at the time, is cooperating with the investigation.

“This incident highlights the dire crisis we are facing with inadequate resources to house people with mental illness,” Sproles said.

Sproles said his deputies had “just completed an all week Crisis intervention training here with approximately 20 law-enforcement officers from our county, including the New Castle police department, members of the State Police, and the Middletown and Knightstown police departments.”

The investigation is ongoing.

To the shores of Tripoli….

A huge blast on Saturday in Iran’s southern port of Shahid Rajaee has killed at least four people. According to The Guardian, the explosion wounded more than 500, with an official suggesting the fire was caused by the explosion of chemical containers.

I had never heard of ‘LapuLapu Day’ before, but it turns out we all here have a sort of connection to the festival.

Lapulapu or Lapu-Lapu, was a Datu (chief) of Mactan, a Philippine island. Lapulapu is known for the Battle of Mactan in 1521, where he and his men defeated Spanish forces led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan on his voyage of circumnavigation. Magellan’s death in that battle delayed the Spanish occupation of the islands until the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi reached the islands in 1565.

9 people killed when a vehicle plows into a Filipino street festival crowd in Vancouver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A man drove a vehicle into a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city of Vancouver, killing at least nine people and injuring an unknown number of others, police said Sunday.

The vehicle entered the street at 8:14 p.m. on Saturday and struck people attending the Lapu Lapu Day festival, the Vancouver Police Department said in a social media post.

Several other people were injured, but the exact number of casualties wasn’t immediately available.

A 30-year-old Vancouver man was arrested at the scene and the department’s Major Crime Section is overseeing the investigation, police said.

“At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism,” the police department posted early Sunday.

Interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Rai told a news conference that the man was arrested after initially being apprehended by bystanders.

So Susan Rice and her cronies are complaining because she was terminated from her DoD advisory board.

Let’s remember that she was the one that was trotted out onto all the talk shows after our country lost precious citizens during Hillary’s Benghazi debacle. She claimed it was all caused by a video.

Then during the ill-fated withdrawal from Afghanistan she was working on domestic policy, but she unapologetically defended the Biden administration’s decision to withdraw even though we left billions of dollars of equipment in our enemies’ hands and lost precious service people.

Now she is calling for Hegseth to resign over a text. The hypocrisy of Democrats remains astounding!
