California gunwoman loses: "An apparent domestic dispute erupted into a running gunbattle in Vallejo early Friday, leaving a Suisun City woman dead and a Vallejo man injured. Vallejo police Sgt. Vic Massenkoff identified the dead woman as 34-year-old Sharon Cobb of Suisun City. Injured during the exchange of gunfire was 27-year-old Rashann Rice of Vallejo. Rice was treated at a regional trauma center and later was released. Massenkoff said the pair apparently had a previous relationship and a 1-year-old child. Preliminary reports, Massenkoff said, indicated that Cobb had sought out Rice and confronted him shortly before 5:50 a.m. Friday as he walked along the 300 block of Fairgrounds Drive. Cobb apparently drew a handgun and shot at Rice, who ran as Cobb continued to fire, striking him twice. Rice, Massenkoff said, is then believed to have drawn his own handgun and fired at Cobb, fatally wounding her. She later was pronounced dead at the scene. Circumstances surrounding the early morning shooting remain under investigation."


Kentucky man fatally shoots intruder : "An eastern Kentucky man fatally shot one of two alleged intruders who claimed to be police officers, according to sheriff's officials. The other alleged intruder was arrested and charged with burglary and impersonating a police officer, a sheriff's report said. Jason Daniels, 23, of Ashland, shot Robert Lewis Chapman, 50, of Greenup in the chest, shoulder and wrist on Wednesday night, the Boyd County Sheriff's office said in the report. Adam C. Justice, 22, of Summitt, was lodged in the Boyd County jail. Boyd County Sheriff Terry Keelin said the case would be turned over to the commonwealth's attorney and a grand jury would be asked to decide if any charges would be filed against Daniels. The intruders allegedly broke into a home where Daniels was staying after Daniels refused to answer the door. The men had pounded on the door claiming to be police officers with a search warrant, Keelin said. The men then allegedly forced Daniels into the bathroom, tied him up and proceeded to ransack the house, the sheriff's report said. While the alleged burglars were busy in other parts of the house, Daniels freed himself and got a 9 mm pistol from a cabinet, the report said. "When the suspects returned to the bathroom, they found Mr. Daniels, now armed and in a shooting stance," the report said. When one of the alleged intruders attempted to draw a revolver from its holster, Daniels fired four times and both men fled in a van that was parked nearby. Chapman was dumped outside the emergency room entrance to Kings Daughters Medical Center about three miles from the scene of the incident and later died, the report said. Police stopped the van a few blocks from the hospital and arrested Justice."
