In Lehigh Acres, Fla., on Aug. 31, a man was told to leave the property of another man, but refused to comply. Instead, he reportedly followed the other man and shoved him down using a pickaxe, then threatened to strike him with it. The man on the ground responded by shooting the suspect. The suspect now faces one charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. (gulfcoastnewsnow.com; Ft. Myers, Fla.; 9/4/26)

Hearing a noise in his Camden, N.J., home, Clinton Tabb decided to investigate. Arming himself, the homeowner confronted an intruder, who came towards the 42-year-old resident with a sledgehammer. Firing several shots at his approaching assailant, Tabb mortally wounded the man. A Camden County grand jury cleared the homeowner in the incident. (The Inquirer; Philadelphia, Pa.)
