Exercising the Right

Crime Spree Cut Short

KFOR.com reported out of Nichols Hills, Oklahoma, on October 11 that an intruder involved in a string of break-ins was shot on his last stop. Nichols Hills Police Chief Steve Cox told the news that police had gotten calls about many residences and automobiles being broken in to before they got the report of a shooting. The officers rushed to the scene and discovered the wounded suspect a few houses away from where the shooting took place. The injured man was lying on the ground in the backyard of a neighbor’s house pleading for help with his gunshot wound.

Authorities are still investigating, but the police believe that the suspect was involved in a series of crimes that night before being confronted and shot by a homeowner. “We believe the suspect was confronted by a homeowner, some type of altercation took place. Suspect was shot at least one time…. While officers in the area were looking for the suspect, it was determined we started getting several calls of other residences and autos being broken into,” Chief Cox told KFOR.com.

Authorities say a shooting occurred in the early morning hours at a Starbucks when a deranged man began accosting employees of the store. Police were already en route to the scene because the mentally ill man had just caused a scene at a 7-Eleven convenience store across the street.
