A homeowner in Chickasha, Okla., had a rude awakening when the driver of a vehicle allegedly crashed into his home and attacked his wife on Jan. 11, 2022.
Sometime before 5 a.m. that Tuesday morning, the incident began with the driver reportedly plowing his vehicle through several yards of nearby homes, after he had crashed through a nearby KFC restaurant. The vehicle then backed up and hit the homeowner's residence, with the noise awakening the homeowner and alerting him to the disturbance.
Shortly afterward, the homeowner could hear someone banging on the windows of a neighboring home. The homeowner then went to the front door to investigate, opening the door and peered out. As the homeowner came outside, he drew the attention of the driver, who then charged towards the front porch. The deranged driver then forced his way into the home and assaulted the homeowner's wife.
As this was going on, the homeowner rushed and retrieved a firearm inside the home. He then shot the assailing driver, ending the onslaught. Police were called at 4:52 a.m., and found the stricken driver mortally wounded from the homeowner's fire. (tulsaworld.com, Tulsa, Okla., 01/11/2022)

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.)
