Pizza Shop Employee’s Son, 14, Shoots Would-Be Robber in Face

The 14-year-old son of a pizza shop employee shot one of three would-be robbers in the face after he started choking his mom in Philadelphia, police said

Police arrived at the shop in the Spring Garden neighborhood shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday and noticed a trail of blood that began inside the restaurant and went on for three blocks into the subway station at Broad and Spring Garden streets.

The employee told police three men had entered and demanded money from the cash register, which she told them she couldn’t open because she needed a code.

Other employees said one of the men tried to reach over the counter and then began choking the woman, prompting her son to pull out a handgun from underneath the counter and shoot the alleged attacker once in the face, according to police.

‘I have the right to protect myself:’ [Spanaway] Washington man shoots, kills suspected home burglar

SPANAWAY, Wash. – A resident shot and killed a home intruder in Spanaway early Thursday, and a second suspect escaped, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies said the 31-year-old resident, Jerahme Smith, shot at two men who tried to break into his house near A St. E. and 165th St. E. around 4:00 a.m.

The homeowner told police he shot at the suspects as they kicked in his back door. The intruders then ran into the front yard where deputies later found one of the suspects dead. The other suspect ran off.

Smith said he has been renting the home with his wife and children for the past three years. Smith explained he and his sister were in the house when the suspects kicked down the back door. Smith said he acted in self-defense.

“When everything first started, the first thing I had to do was take a few breaths and calm myself down because I knew it could have gone one of two ways. I didn’t know who they were, I didn’t know what they had, but the first thing I did–and it’s the honest to God truth–is I took a few breaths to myself. That way I knew I was calm enough to make a proper judgment decision,” said Smith.

Investigators have not released any further information about the suspects but said that the man who died was 24-years-old.

While detectives continue investigating the case, Smith said he will continue standing by his actions.

“It kind of goes back to your rights. I have the right to carry and I have the right to protect myself and I have the right to protect my property,” said Smith. “Protect yourself. That doesn’t mean go looking for it, that means just be ready.”

People who live in the area said crime has been increasing in the neighborhood. One man said he recently bought security lights and a surveillance camera to help protect his home.

“If it ain’t one thing it’s another,” said the man, who asked to keep his identity private. “That kind of upsets me that we have this kind of crime going on in the neighborhood. It’s not a good feeling because we don’t know—it could be something happening tomorrow, tonight, you know? Same ol’ thing.”

Police determine fatal shooting done in self-defense

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque Police Department homicide detectives along with the District Attorney’s Office have determined that a fatal shooting that occurred in northeast Albuquerque on Monday was done in self-defense. Around 6:05 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Grove St. NE in reference to a caller that said an individual had been shot, according to APD.

Authorities say after interviewing witnesses, detectives determined the shooter, James Lawrence, fired a handgun in self-defense as Francisco Fonseca attacked him with a blunt object. Fonseca died from the gunshot wound.

APD states that Lawrence will not be charged for the shooting which the department says will be considered a justifiable homicide. However, Lawrence has been charged for a probation violation and was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Police say Lawrence may also face charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
