‘Good gal with a gun’: Woman with pistol kills gunman at party

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Charleston Police say that a woman’s actions on Wednesday night may have prevented a mass casualty event.

According to CPD around 10:45 on Wednesday night officers arrived outside of the Renaissance Circle apartment complex for a report of a shooting. When police got there, they found the gunshot victim, 37-year-old Dennis Butler of Charleston, with multiple gunshot wounds. Butler later died.

Police say they discovered that earlier that night, Butler was approached about speeding in the apartment complex while children were playing. Police say Butler then left the complex and returned a short time later when he parked his vehicle in front of the apartment, pulled out an AR-15 style rifle and started firing at people attending a party.

Police say a bystander attending the party quickly pulled out her pistol and fired at Butler, fatally injuring him.

“Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night,” said Lieutenant Tony Hazelett. “She was lawfully carrying a firearm and stopped a threat. There was a graduation party and a party with kids so obviously someone just graduated high school and we could have had a casualty shooting.”

Charleston Police say several witnesses and the person who fired the gun waited on police to get there and fully cooperated with the investigation.

At this time, no one has been charged in the shooting. The investigation now goes to the Kanawha County Prosecutor’s office for review.

‘I had to do what I had to do:’ Florida woman, 69, shoots, kills intruder

ORLANDO, Fla. – A 69-year-old woman shot and killed an intruder Sunday afternoon during a home invasion in Orange County, according to sheriff’s officials.

The fatal shooting happened around 12:30 p.m. in the 6500 block of Bentwood Street, near Colonial Drive and Semoran Boulevard.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called to a burglary in progress and found a man in who had been shot by the homeowner. Deputies later identified the man as 38-year-old Ezequiel Rosario-Torres.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, deputies said.

“I feel sorry for his family, but I had to do what I had to do,” said Virginia Morrison, who owns the home.

The sheriff’s office told News 6 that the man entered the home and startled Morrison, who asked the man to leave. She shot the man when he refused to leave the property, according to deputies.

Morrison, who is cooperating with investigators, told detectives that she had never seen the man before.

“Something wasn’t right with the man,” she said, adding that he didn’t say a word. “He had a blank look on his face.”

She said she thought her fiance was outside, so the door to the house was unlocked.

Morrison said the stranger stepped inside so she asked him who he was and what he wanted, but he did not respond.

“I said, ‘I’m getting my damn gun.’ So I went to my bedroom and got my gun and I went out the back door and I came to the fence and he sees me and he starts toward me,” Morrison said. “I fired a shot above him, then said, ‘Back off, dude. I’ll shoot you.’ And he kept coming toward me, so I shot him.”

Morrison said it was the first time she’s ever used her gun.

“Keep your doors locked. Anybody can walk into your house now,” she said. “I killed a man. I didn’t intend to do that. I’m trying to protect me and (my fiance).”

The state attorney’s office will determine whether charges will be filed in the case.

An investigation is ongoing.

Comment O’ The Day
The robbery rattled residents in the area. “I thought this was a very safe neighborhood,” Walnut resident Elaine Thai told CBS News Los Angeles.

It’s sad that people have to get such a wake up call to realize that no one neighborhood is any more ‘safe’ than another. This has been proven time and time again, yet people continually are shocked when their ‘bubble’ gets popped.

Suspect Killed In LA County Home Invasion Robbery
A young couple found an intruder in their Walnut home early Saturday morning and shot one of two suspects, according to sheriff’s officials.

WALNUT, CA — A suspected home-invasion robber was shot and killed in a confrontation with residents in Walnut over the weekend and a second suspect is at large, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

The shooting occurred early Saturday morning when a husband and wife heard footsteps inside their home in the 20000 block of East Country Hollow Drive, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

A 27-year-old man and his 26-year-old wife heard strange noises at about 4 a.m. and went to investigate when the man “was confronted by a male suspect armed with a handgun and a shooting ensued,” sheriff’s officials said.

“The suspect sustained gunshot wounds to his upper torso and was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the sheriff’s department said.

Neither resident was injured in the shooting, and the suspect’s gun was recovered at the scene, according to the Los Angeles sheriff’s Department.

A second suspect fled the location. The robbery rattled residents in the area.

“I thought this was a very safe neighborhood,” Walnut resident Elaine Thai told CBS News Los Angeles.

Walnut officials stressed the city’s safety Sunday and said the sheriff’s department would be “utilizing all of their resources to investigate” the shooting death of a suspected burglar by a homeowner.

Attempted robbery in Antioch turns into self-defense fatal shooting
One man dead, another hospitalized after gunfire at apartment

ANTIOCH — One man died and another was injured after gunfire at an apartment early Friday that resulted from an attempted robbery, police said.

Police did not make any arrests and called the shooting a case of self-defense. Authorities did not identify either man immediately.

The self-defense shooting was one of two that occurred in the eastern area of Contra Costa County early Friday. An Oakley woman also fatally shot a man against whom she had filed a restraining order for elder abuse, police said.

The Antioch shooting happened about 3:30 a.m. in the 2100 block of Lemontree Way, police Sgt. Matthew Koch said in a statement.

Officers arrived after hearing reports of a shooting and found both men injured, Koch said. A 37-year-old died at the scene, and a 29-year-old was in stable condition at a hospital Friday, Koch said.

According to police, the 37-year-old tried to force the 29-year-old resident into his apartment unit and wanted to rob him. The resident got his hands on a gun — police did not say if the gun belonged to the homeowner — and shot the suspect, fatally wounding him. Before he died, the 37-year-old returned fire, hitting the resident in the lower body, police said.

An ambulance took the younger man to a hospital. Authorities did not immediately identify the person killed, pending confirmation of their identity and notification of next of kin.

Oakley [California] Woman Fatally Shoots Man in Self-Defense

A woman shot and killed a man in Oakley early Friday in a case that police are treating as self-defense.

Officers responded at 12:39 a.m. to a report of a 51-year-old man shot in the 200 block of West Cypress Road.

The man was found in the driveway of a home and succumbed to his injuries at the scene, police said. His name has not been released.

Investigators detained three people at the home and learned that a 74-year-old woman there has an elder abuse restraining order against the man because of a history of physical violence, and more alleged violence by the man led her to shoot him in self-defense, according to police.

The woman was not taken into custody.

Not unexpected. They demand the drivers be helpless

Uber suspends driver who shot alleged cop impersonator in Buckhead

An Uber driver who shot a man Sunday in presumed self-defense has been suspended from the ride-share platform while the company investigates.

The man she shot, 21-year-old Tyriq Wiggins-Younger, followed the driver about two miles from a motel on Cheshire Bridge Road to a Target store on Peachtree Road in Buckhead, where Atlanta police said he crashed into her car and she shot him multiple times. No charges are pending against the Uber driver, but Wiggins-Younger is facing several charges, including impersonating an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.

In newly released 911 audio, the Uber driver told authorities she had never seen the man before and thought he was trying to kill her. She is frantic as she stays on the line with emergency dispatchers, screaming when her vehicle is rear-ended several times.

“I’m on Lenox Road,” the woman said as she passed Lenox Square. “They keep following me. I don’t know who this (expletive) is but they keep following me. I’m trying to find a policeman.”

According to police, Wiggins-Younger ran the woman’s Audi A3 off the road and both vehicles crashed on a sidewalk outside Target. The woman can be heard asking the man “who are you?” and “are you a maniac?” as she warns him to stay back. She announces she has a gun and will shoot to kill. She is hysterical.

A single shot rings out, but a male voice continues speaking to the woman.

“You’re not a cop, you crazy (expletive),” the woman said at one point during the 12-minute 911 call, just before a second gunshot is heard.

Police arrived at the Target shortly before 11:45 p.m. and found Wiggins-Younger in the parking deck with three gunshot wounds, one in the back, one in the leg and one in the shoulder. He told officers he was an active member of the LAPD and tried to pull the woman over for a traffic violation. He did not have any identification, and his Chevrolet Cruz was not equipped for lights or sirens, according to a police report.

In addition to the impersonation charge, Wiggins-Younger was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and drug possession. Police found a small plastic bag of suspected cocaine, marijuana and a smoke pipe in his Chevrolet, according to the report.

Atlanta police confirmed Thursday they do not intend to bring charges against the Uber driver, who shot “fearing for her safety” and is considered the victim in this case, according to a department spokesperson. The police investigation remains active.

But carrying a gun while driving for Uber, in violation of the company’s firearms policy, has cost the woman access to the app. No drivers or passengers are allowed to carry guns while using the app.

In metro Atlanta, shootings involving Uber drivers have become commonplace. Earlier this year, a pregnant woman was forced into early labor after College Park police said she was shot by her Uber driver. In 2021, one Uber driver was killed outside a nightclub in Union City, and another was arrested in a separate shooting that killed a passenger at a northeast Atlanta gas station.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Uber said the company has removed app access for the driver in Sunday’s shooting but will re-evaluate her status if she can submit written clearance from law enforcement that she is not being charged.

“The reported details are frightening, and we’re relieved the driver was unharmed,” the spokesperson said. “We’re in touch with the driver as we continue to look into this incident. We’re standing by to assist law enforcement on their investigation.”

Man shot and killed after attempting to enter Lenoir City home

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — One man was found shot and killed Tuesday after a homeowner said he attempted to force his way into the residence, Lenoir City Police said.

Officers responded to West 2nd Avenue around 10:15 p.m. for a report of a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers became aware of another disturbance at a nearby home on the same street where a man reportedly attempted to force his way into the residence.

Lenoir City Police said the owner of the second home shot the man, identified as 20-year-old Michael Owen, multiple times. Owen was pronounced dead at the scene.

The initial disturbance police had responded to was between Owen and people living at the first West 2nd Ave home. Witnesses told police that Owen was acting erratically before the shooting and claimed that he may have been under the influence of an unknown substance.

The body has been sent for an autopsy.

 

Well, if a man did the same in the same situation, I’d say there would be an excellent case for claiming self defense too. Yeah, do call 911, but always remember – and as seen in this situation – when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Woman shoots man allegedly impersonating officer, claims self-defense

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) – Atlanta police are investigating after a man was shot several times by a woman claiming she was being followed.

It happened on Sunday around 11:35 p.m. along Peachtree Road NE. According to investigators, the woman, who was driving for a ride-share company had dropped off a passenger near Cheshire Bridge Road when a man, later identified as 21-year-old Tyriq Qwadere Wiggins-Younger, attempted to use his vehicle to block her from leaving the area.

The woman fled and Wiggins-Younger pursued her in his own vehicle forcing her to crash near Peachtree Road. Police say Wiggins-Younger then approached the woman who shot him claiming that she feared for her safety.

Atlanta police tell CBS46 Wiggins-Younger claimed to be an off-duty officer attempting to make a traffic stop. He now faces charges of Aggravated Assault, Impersonating a Police Officer, Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Related Objects.

At this time the rideshare driver is not facing any charges, police say.

“We’re still trying to determine if this was self defense, or what actually took place. In this case we do believe that the person in the dark-colored vehicle (the woman) was scared and just trying to get away from this person,” Atlanta Police Public Information Officer, Karlo Peek said.

Police said if you ever find yourself in a situation, where you believe you are being followed, call 911 right away.

Observation O’ The Day

this gives off the impression that one can simply be knocked down and have the right to shoot to kill.

Uh… yeah. Being knocked to the ground can be a deadly depending on the altercation and the relative size of people. We aren’t animals. We’re not supposed to just be out there knocking other people down.

And, of course, the standard operational:

“Tyrone was a father, a son, a brother, a nephew, an uncle, a cousin, a fiancé and a friend to so many,” they continued. “He had a heart of gold and loved everyone…”

No charges to be filed in Wheeling Island shooting incident

WHEELING — The person who shot and killed Tyrone Thompson on Wheeling Island in March will not face charges in the incident, Ohio County Prosecuting Attorney Scott Smith announced Monday.

That decision left Thompson’s family, in their words, “hurt” and “let down” by the city.

In a Monday evening news release, Smith said the regularly scheduled Ohio County grand jury convened and, after a full presentation of the evidence, did not vote to return any charges against the gunman.

Thompson, 35, of Wheeling, was shot and killed on South Huron Street on Wheeling Island around 7:30 p.m. March 19. The shooter was not arrested immediately following the incident, and Wheeling police did not release the shooter’s name because they had not been arrested.

Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger had said the shooter was questioned that night and cooperated with authorities. The shooter had claimed self-defense in the incident, which was one of several possible angles detectives had investigated.

Memorials, vigils and protests followed Thompson’s death. A candlelight vigil was held the Monday after the incident.

On March 25, about 50 of Thompson’s friends and family stood across from the City-County Building in Wheeling in a peaceful protest, holding signs asking for justice for Thompson. Later that day, dozens of those protesters filed into Wheeling City Council chambers during a council budget meeting. Following that meeting, they stayed to ask city leaders why the shooter was questioned and released so quickly.

Smith said Monday that members of the Ohio County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as well as a representative of the WPD detective division met with Thompson’s family prior to the grand jury proceeding.

In a statement emailed to The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register on Monday night, Thompson’s mother, Elona Lyle, and sister, Tyrisha Thompson, expressed their frustration and disappointment in the grand jury’s decision.

“The only witness to this case was the shooter, Tyrone didn’t get a chance to tell his side of the story,” they wrote. “How does a man walk away from a situation in which he claims to have been fighting for his life and only have a few superficial scratches? How does a 30-second altercation cause an unarmed man to lose his life due to multiple gunshot wounds?

“Tyrone was a father, a son, a brother, a nephew, an uncle, a cousin, a fiance and a friend to so many,” they continued. “He had a heart of gold and loved everyone. Now the family is left to pick up the pieces with no understanding of why or how this is fair. This state should be ashamed, because this gives off the impression that one can simply be knocked down and have the right to shoot to kill.”

Grand jury proceedings are confidential by law.

If it looks like anything close to a real gun, and it’s used like a real gun, the possessor gets treated like it’s a real gun.

Clare police investigating home invasion, where homeowner shot and killed alleged intruder

CLARE, Mich. (WJRT) May 5 – The Clare Police Chief is one of the witnesses of a shooting, as an alleged suspect in a home invasion is shot by the homeowner.

It was around six this morning in Clare when a 911 call was made from a homeowner saying someone broke into his house.

The home is attached to a popular business in the city and police say they got to the home in about two minutes.

Clare Police Chief David Saad was just getting to work when the 911 call went out that there was a home invasion in progress on McEwan Street.

McEwan Street runs through the heart of the city of Clare, population of about 3,200

It was six o’clock in the morning when police chief David Saad was just getting to work and was called to this home for a reported break-in.

“My officer and I arrived at the scene, it was six am so I was just coming into service as well as him, when we responded down over here, we received the call, and as we were making entry into the residence that’s when the shots went off,” says Saad.

Saad was in the home and saw the gunshots being fired.

He says the suspect in the home invasion was shot to death. The male homeowner, Saad and the officer were not injured.

The Michigan State Police Crime Lab was on the scene collecting evidence throughout the afternoon. The shooting happened in a home connected to the popular Dairy Phil restaurant.

“A separate residence is in the back, but the individual that owns the Dairy Phil also lives in the back residence,’ he says.

Saad confirms it was the owner of the Daily Phil that shot the man. He did not want to comment on whether the home invasion suspect had a weapon of any kind.

“To my knowledge they are not acquainted to each other,” he says.

He says gun used in the shooting was registered to the homeowner. Saad says its not typical for a home invasion to occur at that time of the day.

“Pretty uncommon around 6 am, most of the time they occur in the middle of the night,” he says.

The chief did not release the name of the man who was shot and he says once their report is done, it will be sent to the prosecutor’s office to review.
