Around 2 a.m. on March 16 in Egelston Township, Mich., a man began banging on the window of an apartment attached to a main house. He broke into that apartment and assaulted the tenant, though reports do not specify the type of assault. He then began breaking into the main house, in which were a couple and two children. Reports did not specify who shot the intruder as he broke in, but he was killed and no others were harmed. (woodtv.com, Grand Rapids, Mich., 3/18/26)
From the Armed Citizen® Archives – December 1986
The owner of an Evergreen Park, Ill., car wash was closing up shop when an armed intruder struck him on the head with the butt of a pistol. The gunman then forced Richard Grotemeyer to walk to the cashier's cage to hand over the day's receipts, but the owner grabbed a 9 mm semi-auto and ran from the room.
The burglar chased him and began shooting. The owner returned fire and seriously wounded his assailant. Authorities said it was likely the suspect would be charged with armed robbery and possibly attempted murder. (Southtown Economist Newspapers, Chicago, Ill.)
