Burglary ends with suspect shot in Camden County

CAMDENTON, Mo. — The Camden County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is investigating a burglary that ended in a shooting that has left one dead.

According to a press release for CCSO, deputies were called to a Camdenton residence on North Highway 7 at around 3 a.m. on Oct. 2 for a burglary in progress.

The 911 caller told dispatchers that they had shot one of the burglars, while another drove off in an unknown make and model, dark-colored vehicle, according to the release. First responders provided medical care to the suspect, who died at the scene.

“They also told us that one of the subjects was able to escape,” Camden County Sgt. Scott Hines said. “They got into a dark-colored vehicle, no make no model and drove off. By the time our deputies got there, the subject was deceased.”

In Missouri under the castle doctrine, it is legal for an individual to use deadly force to defend themselves against an intruder.

“Essentially, what the castle doctrine says, is that if you’re in fear for your life, you do have the right to protect yourself,” said Hines. “And I’ll let the attorneys get into the weeds on that. But that’s the long and the short of it and in this situation, I think that we’re going to find it.”

“We’re [a] community here, we all know one another in this community. We have each other’s back,” Garcia said. “It’s not really much of a situation where, ‘oh, did you hear this happened?’ Just like I said it’s very unexpected when something like that happens.”

Authorities are still searching for the second suspect.

CCSO says deputies and detectives are working at the scene to investigate, and does not believe there is an active threat to the public.

Teen shot with real gun after botched robbery with replica gun, police say
The would-be victim of the robbery, a 21-year-old man, pulled out his own legally owned handgun and shot the teen, police said.

A 16-year-old was shot in the leg after police said he tried to rob a 21-year-old man with a replica gun in Kensington late Sunday.

Police responded to a report of a person with a gun just after 11 p.m. on the 2200 block of Emerald Avenue, said Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore. When officers arrived, they found the teen with a gunshot wound to his leg and he was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children where he was listed in stable condition, Vanore said.

Shortly after, officers found the would-be victim of the robbery, a 21-year-old man police did not identify. He told police the teen and another person accosted him, and the teen pulled out what he believed was a real handgun to try to rob him, he said.

The 21-year-old then brandished his legally owned 9mm handgun and fired at the teen, said Vanore.

The 21-year-old man was cooperating with police and had turned over his gun, Vanore said. Officers also recovered the replica firearm they say the teen used to try to rob the man.

Police continued to investigate and were searching for surveillance footage of the shooting. No arrests had been made, nor charges filed.

Man shot, arrested after following woman home from casino, breaking in, assaulting her

A man was shot and later arrested after following a woman home from a casino and attempting to rob her, police said on Tuesday.

Abington police identified the man allegedly involved in the home invasion as Khabir Shepard. Authorities charged Shepard with robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and carrying a firearm without a license.

According to police, at around 1 a.m. Monday, authorities responded to the home on the 1800 block of Horace Avenue in Abington for a report of a man shot following a home invasion.

Once they arrived at the home, investigators met with a woman who told them she had just gotten home from the casino when an unknown man forced his way into her residence and pointed a gun at her. The man, identified by police as Shephard, allegedly pushed the woman on the ground and grabbed her purse from the dining room table.

Police said the woman yelled for help, waking up her son who was in the back bedroom. According to police, the woman’s son grabbed his legally owned gun and ran out to see what the commotion was. After the son saw Shepard had a firearm on him, police said, he fired two shots at him in defense of his mother’s safety.

The bullets hit Shepard in the back and arm, but he ran out of the home before collapsing on the front lawn, according to police.

Police then arrived at the home on Horace Street and took Shepard into custody. Authorities said a handgun believed to be Shepard’s was also found on the front lawn.

After he was arrested, authorities took Shepard to the hospital for his gunshot wounds. Shepard was arraigned and remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, where he’s being held on $250,000 cash bail.

“We do know the suspect was watching her, she was targeted,” Abington Township Police Chief Patrick Molloy said. “This was not a random crime. They knew there was cash in that purse.”

Police are warning others to be aware of their surroundings, especially people who are transporting cash.

“I would say if you are at a casino and you win money, take some precautions. … There are bad guys who put a lot of work into this,” Molloy said.

Police are continuing to investigate whether anyone else was involved.

A man who reportedly showed up uninvited at an east Erie residence and tried to enter it when an occupant opened the door early Monday morning was shot in the arm during an altercation, according to city police.

Two adults who were inside the house were questioned by police as the man who was shot underwent medical treatment for a gunshot wound to the right arm near his biceps, investigators reported.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. (First Alert 4) – A suspect in a burglary Tuesday in Hanley Hills who allegedly told his victim “you’ll have to shoot me (explicative),” when ordered to leave the home, was shot in the chest and is now criminally charged.

Police said the residents were awakened by Marshall standing over their bed naked from the waist down. One of the residents allegedly retrieved a pistol and told Marshall to leave when Marshall lunged and stated he would have to be shot.

The resident then shot Marshall once in the chest and he fell to the floor saying, “alright man don’t shoot me no more,” according to charging documents.

Homeowner shoots suspected burglar on southeast side

SAN ANTONIO — A homeowner shot a suspected burglar on the southeast side early Thursday morning, according to authorities.

San Antonio Police responded to a burglary in progress near the 2300 block of Hicks Avenue around 5 a.m.

Neighbors told KENS 5 they heard about four “muffled gunshots” before officers arrived. Police said the homeowner, 43, pulled out a handgun and shot the alleged thief, but no victims were found at the scene.

A 48-year-old man believed to be the alleged burglar was found in a detached garage with apparent gunshot wounds near the 1400 block on Vanderbilt Street. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and was later placed in police custody.

When solar panel installers, Rafael Olivares and Vincent Rojas, arrived at a job site on Hicks Avenue around 7 a.m., they found the street blocked by police vehicles.

“There was a lot of commotion in the morning here,” said Olivares. “There were a little over 20 cop cars, I believe. They were all on the streets taking pictures of those two houses over there.”

“I thought it was pretty crazy,” added Rojas. “They brought out like this big van and hauled a bunch of evidence or whatever into it.”

A mother told KENS 5 she is sick of the shootings on her street. She worries about stray bullets hitting home, but she wasn’t particularly concerned about burglaries. Several neighbors suspect the homeowner may have known the intruder.

We tried to speak with a man leaving the house where the shooting happened, but he declined to comment.

“You have to be safe nowadays,” said Olivares. “Especially since there’s a lot of crazies nowadays. Just make sure you lock your doors. If you have valuable stuff, just make sure y’all put them inside during the nighttime.”

So far, the homeowner is not facing any charges. The San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) says homeowners are allowed to protect their property under state law. Investigators will determine if this incident falls into that category.

Sheriff Brad Anders

On August 30th, 2024, at about 1 AM, deputies were dispatched to the area of Anderson School Road and Shire Lane for a single-vehicle accident called in by a passerby.
At about 1:09 AM, while en-route to the accident scene, deputies were notified of a Burglary in Progress at a residence near the accident scene.

Pettis County Coroner Robert Smith arrived on the scene and took possession of the body.
