La.: Two shot trying to break and enter: "The first victim was identified as Roderick R. McCullon, 20, from Monroe. Police said McCullon was taken to St. Francis Medical Center where he later died as a result of his injuries. As the investigation progressed, Smith said police identified a second victim, Marvin Fritz, 42, also from Monroe. She said Fritz was not at the scene when police first arrived. Police said Fritz received a gun shot wound and was taken to St. Francis by a witness. Smith said Fritz is still listed in critical condition.

Witnesses told investigators three masked people -two males and a female - entered the home around 11:39 a.m. prompting an exchange of gunfire. The female victim shot the intruder, police said. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The two other alleged intruders fled in a car and remain at large".


UT: 4 Walmart employees fired after disarming gunman caught shoplifting: "The gunman had a firm grip on Stewart's shoulder, telling him and three of his Walmart co-workers, "Don't make me do this." Instantly, Shawn Ray and Justin Richins kicked into gear, spinning the gunman around. Lori Poulsen ripped the gun away and secured it. They all held onto the man until police arrived minutes later. The four Layton Walmart employees felt it was mission accomplished. Police officers told them they had done everything right. But a week later, all four were fired from their jobs. Walmart said their actions had violated company policy and put their fellow workers and shoppers at risk."
