The incident happened Thursday night in Lincoln County. Sheriff's deputies say it stems from an incident that happened last week. Officials say Joshua Starkey broke into the man's house last week. The homeowner spotted him Thursday night while driving and followed him. Starkey eventually stopped, got out of the car and started to run. That's when the homeowner fired the shot at Starkey's vehicle. Starkey was hit in the shoulder by a fragment. Starkey was arrested shortly after. The homeowner was not arrested. Officials say Starkey is responsible for other burglaries in the area and he also had $3,600 in warrants out against him. A second suspect, Jason Cornett, was arrested last week for allegedly breaking into the home along with Starkey. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2009 10:34:48 -0600 From: Joe Gingrich Subject: U.S.: Police: Bystander Shoots Robber In Mall Parking Lot http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28380721/ Police: Bystander Shoots Robber In Mall Parking Lot Two Suspects Remain At Large Thurs., Dec. 25, 2008 Orlando, Florida WESH.com ORLANDO, Fla. - Police continue to search for two men who tried to grab a woman's purse as she walked toward the Fashion Square Mall on Tuesday. A third man was shot and arrested, apparently by a bystander who saw the robbery, police said Wednesday. Willie Keys-Fairclough, 29, who is hospitalized with minor injuries, was arrested in connection with the incident. The incident began about 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday when the woman got off a LYNX bus and walked to an ATM to check her balance. She then continued toward the mall. "She felt people come up to her, maybe one, maybe two," Sgt. Barb Jones of the Orlando Police Department said. "They tried to grab her purse...She resisted. She started yelling, that's when everything started unfolding." One shopper, who saw the men with guns, got his own. "You had a citizen engage the suspects," Jones said Wednesday. "There were some rounds fired." The suspects ran across the street, and police said they found one man hiding behind a dumpster. The man had been shot in the leg but didn't know it. The man, later identified by police as Keys-Fairclough, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault with a gun. Two other suspects remain on the run. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2009 10:54:24 -0600 From: Joe Gingrich Subject: Muskogee,Okla.: Man in critical condition after wife shoots him http://www.muskogeephoenix.com/local/local_story_354004045.html Man in critical condition after wife shoots him Published December 19, 2008 12:40 am A Westville man remained in critical condition in a Tulsa hospital Thursday from a gunshot wound to the head, Adair County Sheriff's Investigator Jack Smithson said. Darrel Fouse, 39, was shot after he violated a protective order and entered his rural home and allegedly began assaulting his wife, Smithson said. Fouse's wife, Marilyn Fouse, 39, told law enforcement her estranged husband entered the home about 2 p.m. Tuesday, hit her in the head, grabbed her arm and was assaulting her when a gun fell out of his fanny pack. "She grabbed it and shot him," Smithson said. "She put a blanket over him, got her two girls (ages 11 and 14) out of their bedroom, and they ran across a field to a great-grandmother's house." No charges have been filed. The shooting remains under investigation, Smithson said. An employee in the Adair County District Court Clerk's Office said a protective order was filed Oct. 10 and that records show it was served on Darrel Fouse. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:11:58 -0600 From: "David R.G.

Three people are confirmed dead following Thursday afternoon's shootings at Vietnamese restaurant Bolsa in southeast Calgary. The police gang unit has been called in to investigate ties to the city's organized crime world. Duty inspector Dean LaGrange said it's too early to make a gang link, but said it is not believed the shooting was random. Viet Tran, who owns the eatery located in a strip mall off busy Macleod Trail, rushed to the scene after receiving a frantic 4 p. m. phone call from his wife, who was working and witnessed the attack. "She just said, 'Come right away, there's shooting in the restaurant,'" said Tran, standing next to police cars parked at the mall. "I'm very scared now." The deaths occurred just 12 hours after Calgary recorded its first homicide of 2009 when a man died in hospital following an altercation outside a northeast bar. Police say it's too early to determine if the early morning homicide is connected to the triple killing. In the restaurant shootings, police said at least two gun-men entered the business and opened fire at patrons sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant. Calgary Emergency Medical Services said paramedics arrived to find all three victims dead at the scene. Two people died inside. The third collapsed and died a few yards outside the cafe in the strip mall parking lot. A yellow tarp covered the victim's body while police investigated. A silver vehicle was seen speeding from the scene. "It's not the way we wanted to start the new year," said La-Grange, speaking to a throng of reporters Thursday evening. Dozens of nearby residents ventured up to the sprawling crime scene police had taped off at the Macleod Plaza strip mall. Police are hoping video surveillance cameras in the area might aid their investigation. About a dozen witnesses from inside the restaurant and the adjacent Regal Beagle pub were interviewed by police. Tran said his restaurant is in a good area and has never had problems with patrons in the past. Originally from Vietnam, Tran and his wife opened the restaurant three and a half years ago. She was not harmed in the shooting. The deaths come hours after city recorded its first homicide of 2009 at 1:30 a. m. New Year's Day. Police were called to White-horn after an altercation broke out in Coyote's Bar and Grill and spilled out into the parking lot. A man, who police say is likely new to Canada and in his mid-twenties, was rushed to hospital but died shortly after arriving. Acting Staff Sgt. Patty Mc-Callum of the homicide unit would not say how the victim was killed or if a weapon was used. Investigators spent the day speaking with witnesses and have not yet established a motive, she said. szickefoose@theherald.canwest.com More on This Story Gangs partly behind increase in homicides http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Gangs+partly+behind+increase+homicides/1132830/story.html Violence at Whitehorn bar turns into Calgary's first homicide in '09 http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Violence+Whitehorn+turns+into+Calgary+first+homicide/1132831/story.html Gallery: New Year's Day murders in Calgary http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Gallery+Year+murders+Calgary/1132565/story.html © Copyright (c) The Calgary Herald - -- -- Letters to the editor E-mail: letters@theherald.canwest.com Calgary Herald Address Mail: Calgary Herald, P.O.
