A local grocer in Spokane, Wash., took action after his father was threatened by two individuals on the evening of Saturday, May 18.
According to police, they were called to a shooting incident where one person had been shot and another injured inside of the business. When they arrived, they found one of the owners of PM Jacoy, the local grocery, had fired at two men, one of whom was armed with a "machete-sized knife," who were threatening his father.
Police took the grocery owner into custody as they investigated. Surveillance footage from the scene backed up the grocer's self-defense claims, and he was released after more than eight hours in police custody. (NonStop Local KHQ; Spokane, Wash.; 5/19/24)

Three teenage hoods found that a 2"x4" scrap of lumber wasn't enough persuasion for a Macon, Ga., store owner. The three broke into the fruit and vegetable stand and began bashing the owner with the beam. But when he reached for the cash register and a .38-cal. revolver, the trio fled.
