    Robber shot in cellphone shop
    Screenshot/Twitter/REZA
    A would-be robber tried to rob a cellphone store and quickly regretted his decision.

    The CCTV footage was shared by REZA on Twitter on the 20th of May 2019, but the stamp on the video shows the incident took place in 2018.

    In the video, the man is seen chatting to a worker from the store, seemingly enquiring about a cellphone. Another worker can be seen sitting on the other side of the desk working.

    A few seconds after the chat, the salesperson picks out the desired cellphone and hands it over to the apparent customer. After checking the cellphone, the 'customer' suddenly pulls a gun out, but before he could fire a shot, the shop steward pulled his own gun and shot him.

    Man shot by Utah homeowner in self-defense faces multiple charges
    Published: May 22, 2019 10:23 am Updated: 3 hours ago
    SALT LAKE CITY — A man who police say was shot by a Hurricane homeowner in self-defense after he threatened to kill the homeowner and another man is due back in court on Thursday.

    Raul Rivera, 43, of Dickinson, North Dakota, was charged April 30 in Washington County's 5th District Court with two counts of aggravated assault, a third-degree felony; threat of violence, a class A misdemeanor; drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, class B misdemeanors.

    On April 27, two men arrived at a home in Hurricane to find Rivera in the driveway. Rivera threatened to shoot the two men and began to reach for something in his vehicle, according to charging documents. Fearing they were about to be shot, one of the men reached into his pants and took out his own weapon and shot Rivera, police say.

    "Raul fell to the ground next to the driver side door of his vehicle. A black handled screwdriver was found laying on the ground next to where Raul was," the charges state.

    As detectives investigated the case, they learned that in the beginning of April, "Raul made threatening voice calls from the jail stating that he would get his 'people' to come up to Hurricane and kill them. It was also found that there were text messages sent to the (gunman's) wife or daughter that are threatening in nature of bodily harm as well," according to a search warrant affidavit.

    Investigators believe Rivera drove from North Dakota to Hurricane to get his children who had been living at that house since December.

    "Investigators further found that Raul had brought his kids (to) live with (the homeowner) and his family and left them with a handwritten note giving custody of his kids," the warrant states.

    Rivera was arrested on April 8 for investigation of drug possession, according to the affidavit.

    "Investigators found that Raul has a lengthy criminal history which involved convictions for both domestic violence assault and manslaughter," the charges state.

    Police: Homeowner shoots, kills intruder while on phone with 911
    KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — A homeowner shot and killed an intruder while on the phone with 911 on Thursday morning in Kaufman County.

    The incident occurred around 9:45 a.m. at a residence in the 8500 block of Farm-to-Market (FM) 2757, just south of Forney.

    The female homeowner told police she was awakened by someone banging on her front door. She did not answer the door because she didn't recognize the man or his vehicle. Shortly thereafter, the woman heard the back door being kicked in, retreated to another room, and called 911.

    "The caller remained on the line with 911 operators until she was confronted by the intruder at which time she defended herself by shooting the intruder," read a statement from the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office.

    Upon arrival, the male intruder was found deceased inside the residence. The homeowner was uninjured.

    The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident with assistance from the Texas Rangers.

    Neighbors come to aid of 2 women being attacked by dogs in Yavapai County

    CORDES LAKES, AZ (3TV/CBS5) -- The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) says armed neighbors came to the aid of two women who were being attacked by dogs.

    It happened Sunday on Black Mountain Road in Cordes Lakes. (Cordes Lakes is southeast of Prescott.)



    The women were reportedly attacked by a trio of "pit bull" dogs, according to YCSO.

    When deputies got to the scene, they found one woman lying on her side, "bleeding and screaming" and suffering from bites on her arms and legs.


    The woman said she and her friend had just arrived at her home when she "found three pit bull dogs in her yard," according to YCSO.

    A neighbor told YCSO that her kids heard the woman screaming, so she grabbed her handgun and, along with a friend, went to help the woman.

    When that neighbor arrived, she found the two women surrounded by the trio of dogs.

    She said "she was afraid to fire directly at the animals" so she "fired a couple of rounds nearby as the dogs kept attacking."

    While her friend called the sheriff's office, the neighbor's husband arrived at the scene.

    He took the handgun from his wife and "engaged the dogs by running up to the residence as they continued attacking."

    YSCO says the man "was able to shoot one of the dogs immediately, and eventually another dog. He attempted to shoot the third dog but was not sure if the round made contact."

    YCSO Animal Control Officers arrived and were able to contain two of the dogs with the owner's assistance and confirm another dog had died.

    All three dogs belonged to a neighbor on Black Mountain Road. YCSO says the dogs had jumped a fence before attacking the women.

    Mayer Fire personnel treated the two women, ages 57 and 61, for multiple puncture and laceration wounds.

    The women were then transported to a Phoenix-area hospital. Their injuries are not life-threatening. One of them has since been released.

    The owner of the dogs, 25-year-old Ian Jones, was cited for six counts of "aggressive animal attack and injure" and three counts of "dog at large."

    “I don’t really care about the charges,” Jones said to Arizona's Family. “I’m just concerned about the women and everything. I’m still trying to process.”

    Jones says his dogs were the “only family” he had, but he understands why an armed neighbor had to take action.

    “He was doing what he thought needed to be done,” says Jones.

    The Yavapai County Sherriff’s Office said Monday one of the women remained in the hospital. Jones says he wants to personally apologize to the victims.

    “I’m very sorry and I hope that they’re alright, hope I can do anything to help,” says Jones.

    The two remaining dogs both suffered gunshot wounds and were bleeding badly. As a result, Jones signed an animal surrender for. Both dogs were euthanized.

    Rabies test are pending on all three dogs.

    Man shoots dog in self-defense in Chicago
    CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire)

    - A man shot a stray dog in self-defense Tuesday in Scottsdale on the Southwest Side.

    Officers were called at 1 p.m. for a call of gunfire in the 7800 block of South Tripp Avenue, Chicago police said.

    A man told officers that he was charged at by a pit bull and shot it twice in self-defense, police said.

    Police called Animal Care and Control, which treated the stray dog for graze wounds and swelling, a spokesperson for city hall said. The dog is expected to live.

    Animal control is working to reunite the dog with its owner, the spokesperson said.

    Police said the man who shot the dog was not charged because he had valid firearm and concealed carry cards.

    Rockford man arrested after standoff faces charges in 2 shootings
    Most Popular Our Picks
    ROCKFORD — A Rockford man arrested this week after a police standoff now faces charges in connection with two separate shootings.

    The newest case was filed Wednesday against Mykel J. Curry, 29, in a March 31 shooting. Rockford police spokeswoman Christie Castillo on Thursday said that Curry is accused of shooting at a car in the 1900 block of South Fourth Street. No one was hurt and nothing was struck, Castillo said. A 21-year-old man was inside the targeted vehicle.

    On Tuesday, Curry was charged with two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon after police said he shot at a resident just before 2:45 p.m. on Monday in the 400 block of 27th Street. The incident occurred, Castillo said, when Curry and a 23-year-old Rockford man confronted a man about a prior dispute. The resident returned fire with his own handgun after Curry shot at him, and the man who accompanied Curry sustained gunshot wound to his leg.

    No charges were filed against Curry’s companion or the resident
    .

    Curry was wanted on a warrant for Monday’s incident when police on Tuesday received a tip that he was at a home in the 1900 block of North Church Street. When they went to arrest him, a several hourslong police standoff ensued. Curry has not been charged in connection with the standoff.
