In Macon, Ga., a 20-year-old man allegedly crawled under his grandmother’s garage door and entered her home to abduct his sister (whose age was not reported). The grandmother, who is the girl’s legal guardian, chased after him and ordered him to release her. When he refused, she pointed a firearm at him, allowing the victim to escape and run back to her.

The brother faces charges of kidnapping, first-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit a felony. His girlfriend was also arrested for allegedly aiding the kidnapping and for obstruction of law enforcement. (41nbc.com; Macon, Ga.; 7/28/26)

A man entered Jim Barr's La Habra, Calif., jewelry store to ask for directions. But when an accomplice entered and pulled a gun, Barr grabbed a .38-cal. revolver from a shelf only to come under fire from the two robbers in the store and two others outside, who smashed a window with a sledgehammer. After the store owner emptied his revolver, the robbers fled. (The Register; Orange County, Calif.)
