Security Camera Helps

BucksLocalNews.com reported on June 3 about an attempted robbery at a pharmacy in Levittown, Pennsylvania. The Falls Township Police Department told BucksLocalNews.com that two men drove up outside the Pennsbury Pharmacy in a minivan, and an armed, masked man exited the vehicle and entered the store. The masked burglar held a shotgun and ran behind the counter to steal from the pharmacist, but the owner saw his approach via the store’s security camera. The owner armed himself with a handgun as the suspect entered the store.

Lt. Henry Ward of the Falls Township Police Department told Bucks­LocalNews.com that the “intruder went into the store and went behind the counter in an attempt to rob the store … [but the pharmacist] was prepared for the armed intruder.... And he began to shoot, striking the intruder numerous times. The intruder died at the scene.” Police were able to corner the minivan with the driver still in the vehicle. The second suspect, the presumed getaway driver, surrendered to police and was taken into custody without incident.

The Well Armed Woman

The World-Herald News Service reported out of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on May 31 about a group for female gun enthusiasts called The Well Armed Woman (WAW). WAW was started by Carrie Lightfoot of Scottsdale, Arizona, as both a business and an organization of like-minded women, with the stated goal of being “where the feminine and firearms meet.” WAW has grown to over 280 clubs in 49 states with more than 8,000 members. The World-Herald News Service reported on two chapters in the area and profiled widow Patricia Harrold, who had joined the club years ago and is now working to grow it. “After I lost my husband, I wanted a greater sense of being able to defend myself,” she said. She explained that “it was easier to talk about self-defense with other women.”
