NY: Janitor blast kills grocery store punk: "Supermarket janitor Angel Candido grabbed a shotgun early yesterday and fatally blasted a burglar who tried to clean out the store in the middle of the night, cops said. Candido, who was working an overnight shift at the Met market at Jamaica Avenue and 173rd Street, was taking an authorized catnap in a crawl space below the store’s office when he suddenly awoke up at 2 a.m. to see two men drop from the ceiling. He watched silently as the burglars, who had cut a hole in the roof, made their way to the office safe. Then the hardworking employee grabbed hold of the weapon — which he keeps with him when he sleeps — and fired a single blast. Mamadou Koureichi, 27, of 88-09 148th St., was pronounced dead at the scene with a wound to the torso. His unidentified accomplice fled, leaving the burglary tools behind.


SC: Bashed woman shoots husband: "A domestic dispute ended Monday evening with a man being sent to the hospital with a gunshot wound and deputies charging him with a crime. Dorchester County sheriff's deputies were called out to Wise Road in the Twin Lakes subdivision near Summerville Monday night, to break up the fight between Christopher Brown and his wife. Deputies say Brown will be charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature. They say the fight started when Brown threatened to push his wife off a riding lawnmower. They say it escalated and he pushed his wife on the chest and struck her multiple times with a belt. Investigators say in the Wise Road case, Brown wouldn't stop striking his wife until she grabbed a gun from the bedroom and shot him. Deputies say the woman had welts and bruises on her back, arms, and legs and that she acted in self defense when she shot her husband in the upper left thigh."


Detroit cashier shoots disruptive customer; Cashier arrested: "A Detroit gas station cashier is behind bars after he allegedly shot a customer in a dispute over a box of condoms. The customer -- Michael Haynes II, 24 -- died at a hospital, The Huffington Post reports. Haynes bought a box of condoms about 12:45 a.m. Saturday at a BP station on Detroit's west side, the Detroit Free Press reports. When Haynes complained about the high price of the condoms and asked for a refund, the cashier refused. A heated argument ensued, and Haynes started knocking items from the store's shelves, police said. The cashier pulled out a gun and shot Haynes in the shoulder, Detroit's WWJ-TV reports. A friend who accompanied Michael Haynes II to the gas station drove him to a hospital, where he died from the gunshot wound. The cashier's name has not been released. The cashier may ultimately be charged with Haynes' killing in the gas station condom shooting. While the incident may not rise to the level of premeditation needed for a murder charge, the clerk may instead be charged with voluntary manslaughter -- a killing in the "heat of passion" of an emotional or mental disturbance."


Senators Sponsor Bill Supporting Second Amendment Rights: "In an effort to remove burdensome red tape that hampers the ability of legal concealed carry permit holders to carry concealed firearms into other states that allow them the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012 has been introduced in the U.S. Senate. A similar bill passed the House last year with a vote of 272-164. The Senate bill, endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), is sponsored by Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia). Under the legislation, an individual with a valid ID and concealed carry permit would be allowed to carry a concealed handgun into any state that has a statute permitting residents to carry concealed firearms, or that does not explicitly prohibit them. The legislation also says an individual who is ineligible for a concealed carry permit in his or her state would not be allowed to obtain an out-of-state permit in a state with less restrictive eligibility requirements in order to use that permit in his or her own state."
