heartwarming stories of good citizens doing good deeds
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Police rushed to the Cash America Pawn on the 2400 block of East 38th Street shortly after 2 p.m. on Tuesday for reports of an attempted robbery and person shot.

Moments later, a customer pulled out a gun and shot and killed the suspect. Tyerre Allen (Provided Photo/IMPD)Tyerre Allen (Provided Photo/IMPD)
Police later identified the suspect as 25-year-old Tyerre Allen of Indianapolis. He was also identified by IMPD detectives as a suspect in other robberies in the Indianapolis area.
Early reports indicated the business owner was the one who shot Allen, but police later clarified it was a customer.
911 callers told dispatchers that someone was attempting to rob the store. Another caller said he saw a male customer inside the store engage the suspect to detour them.
Police believe three to four workers were inside the store, and about four to five customers were inside as well when the shooting happened.
After processing the scene police took witnesses downtown for questioning, including the shooter.
“We don’t know what happened with 100 percent certainty,” said IMPD Officer Christopher Wilburn.
A resident walking near the crime scene expressed hurt after he learned about the deadly shooting.
“People are on edge they try to get money the best way they know how,” said resident Joe Fulton.
During in the impromptu interview, Fulton expressed that robbing others is not the answer. He believes more jobs will keep businesses safer.
Police say Allen was recently released from the Indiana Department of Correction for a robbery that happened years ago.
Officers say the shooter has been very cooperative with police. That person’s name has not yet been released.

HOUSTON -- Just after closing around 2:30 Saturday morning, four armed men barged in at EJ's Place demanding money.
Instead, a customer inside the bar, which is located on the 16500 block of Kuykendahl Road, pulled out his gun and started exchanging fire with the robbers. He shot and killed two of them while the other two ran. Once the heated exchange ended, the patron left, too.
"We're still trying to determine who he is, and why he left the scene," said Harris County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Spurgeon.
Harris County Sheriff's deputies are looking into whether the same robbers held up a gas station on Cypresswood earlier in the night.
Most folks driving by EJ's Place Saturday afternoon thought the patron there was in the right.
"He has his right to protect himself and his family and his friends," said Charles Webb. "It's just unfortunate something like that happened."
Another neighbor, Danielle Russell, added, "Being a mom, yeah, I would feel safe knowing that he has a gun and he's going to protect me in a robbery."
But a sign in the bar window clearly states it's a felony to carry a gun inside. Under Texas law, even licensed carriers can't have guns in bars. That could explain why the patron left.
"Everybody in there is just a happy and nice atmosphere and everybody's real pleasant," said Webb. "I can't imagine that happening there."
Another longtime customer said that the patron who killed the robbers always stays until closing to walk the female bartenders to their cars. The friend said the man would never start anything, but would always protect his friends.
"It's sad. It's unfortunate that we live in that type of world," said Webb.
Investigators say the robbers didn't actually steal anything before the shooting happened.
They are still searching for the two robbers who got away, and looking for connections to any other crimes. They're asking anyone with information to call the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers.

ATLANTA —
Police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened while a crowd of people waited outside a shoe store on Moreland Avenue in Little Five Points.
More than two dozen people were outside Wish Clothing in northeast Atlanta Saturday morning for the release of Miami Heat star Lebron James’ $180-sneakers.
According to witnesses, an armed man tried to rob a group of customers in line about 5:30 a.m. But one of the customers who was armed with his on own handgun shot and killed the suspect.
The suspect ran just a few yards away before he collapsed and died, police said. Witnesses told Channel 2 Action News the suspect had been pick-pocketing people all week long.
"(The suspect) wanted to pick-pocket everybody. But people out here, they weren't going for none of that," said customer Taylor White.
White told Channel 2’s Amanda Cook the suspect should have thought twice before approaching the customers.
"I didn't even expect him to come up here, thinking it was that sweet; Thinking it’s that candy land like that," White said.
Atlanta police said the customer who shot and killed the suspect will not be charged, noting the investigation has determined he fired in self-defense.
"A number of witnesses were interviewed and this appears to be self-defense. At this time no charges have been filed and the investigation continues," said Atlanta police officer John Chafee.
White commended the customer for shooting the suspect.
"He really stood up for all of us. I salute the homie that did that," White said.

A Jacksonville, Fla., dollar store customer shot and killed a robber Monday night, ActionNewsJax.com reported.
According to the report, the customer -- a 57-year-old grandfather -- and two store employees were inside the Dollar General store Monday around 9 p.m. when two armed men entered the store with the intention to rob it.
"One of them had the clerk and one of them was at the front cash register,” Lt. Rob Schoonover of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office told Jacksonville.com.
The customer, who has a concealed weapon permit, shot and killed one of the intruders, FirstCoastNews.com reported.
"There was a citizen who had a concealed firearms permit that was inside the store as a customer," Lt. Schoonover told WOKV.com. "He fired at the suspect, striking him and killing him."
The man was found dead when police arrived at the scene. No charges are pending against the shooter, WOKV.com said.
“He’s always been a marksman,” the man's wife told Jacksonville.com. “He shoots in competitions, but this is the first time he’s ever killed anyone and I don’t know how he’ll handle that.”
The second suspect fled the scene in a small SUV, FirstCoastNews.com reported. Police say the man is about 6 feet tall man and was wearing khaki pants, a blue bandana and black gloves, ActionNewsJax.com reported.

The robbers were breaking the law, that we agree on, but the man who killed will be judged by a higher court. Do you have any compassion in your heart for anyone? By the tone of your post, it doesn't seem so I believe, without a doubt, that everyone no matter who they are, will pay the price for their actions.. I believe in Karma.

"there but for the grace of god" has absolutely NO relevance.it is not applicable in ANY way. committing a crime is NEVER just making a mistake. it demonstrates the absolute worthlessness of the individual, and that worthlessness is ALWAYS, with no exception, by CHOICE. if you need a pair of shoes, there are many places where you can go, and they will give you a pair of shoes. they might look like shyt, but, you have NO right to want $100 shoes. if you choose to steal them, you have such a defective character that you have no place among real people. i have a great deal of compassion, for those who make every possible effort. for those who choose to not make any effort, only the very stupid would have any compassion for

How about the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill ' it would seem to me that you are just paying lip service to your religion. God gave his only begotten son to suffer the penalty of everyone's sins Including the worthless piece o s--- that you mentioned. If you think you are a compassionate person you are kidding yourself.

God gave his only begotten son to suffer the penalty of everyone's sins Including the worthless piece o s--- that you mentioned. If you think you are a compassionate person you are kidding yourself. No one is perfect in this world otherwise God would not have sacrificed his son. first of all, there is no commandment that says "thou shalt not kill". the proper translation is "thou shalt not MURDER". there is a HUGE difference between killing and murder. i trust that you're just jesting with your assertion that no criminals should be punished. god ordained man to judge those who choose to be less than human. christ commanded us to obey the law of the land. yes indeed, god gave his only son as a sacrifice for those who transgress. if they ASK god for forgiveness, he will forgive. without the asking, of course, there is no forgiveness. of course, as i mentioned, god's forgiveness does NOT, in any way, mitigate the legal punishment that the individual deserves. karla faye tucker was a classic example. after she stuck the pickax in the woman's chest, she found jesus and became an outstanding christian. god forgave her for her sin. obviously though, her transforming of her life was absolutely NOT a rational reason for her not dying for the crime that she has committed. the simple FACT is that, if you were a saint before, and a saint after, you commit a murder, NOTHING matters except the fact that you are a murderer. what does compassion have to do with being perfect? at any rate, of course i'm compassionate. i have all the compassion in the world for those who deserve it

Hi Iamjumbo, in the Bible that I studied it was: Thou shalt not kill. No matter, taking the life of another person to me, will always be a no no.
The only reason that I would change my stance is for someone who has a terminal illness and is in great pain, then I might consider it.

You weren't using your brains, you could have pointed the gun at him and walked him out the door first, b4 you shot him, so that there wouldn't be any blood to clean up, how remiss of you. Because I care about people, I feel sorry for the person that has made the decision to be involved in crime.. Nothing in your house that you hold dear is worth someone's life. If ever it came to that, you would be held accountable by a higher court of law, not necessarily the law of the land. Though, if I were the judge, I would find you guilty of at least manslaughter. Life is precious to everyone, so that fact should be respected. Instead of shooting a person, steps should be taken to help rehabilitate him/her in order to give the person a chance to do something constructive with their life. But ofcourse, some things are too difficult to accomplish for all sorts of reasons, mainly money. So let's sweep it all under the carpet and get rid of the problem. So maybe you are doing the Government a favour by shooting the person. Good for you!!!

Good for you!!! i would shoot a punk for stealing a pencil off my desk, which costs me two cents. a two cent pencil is no different than a thousand dollar television. you're right. i wouldn't say a word. it isn't the pencil or the tv that it is getting shot for. it is its choice to violate me by breaking into my house that it deserves to die for. it is not MY choice. i would prefer that all the fools live long lives, and be people. i certainly don't force them to choose to commit crimes. that, as is EVERYTHING, is SOLELY their choice. obviously, a criminal's life is not precious to it. why should it be precious to me? actually, i have never had the opportunity to use the gun, except at the range. the only time i've ever even had it in my hand when i was explaining reality to a fool, he comprehended what i told him and left. but, i always have it on the nightstand when i'm home, or on my hip when i'm going somewhere. one never knows when some imbecile might choose to have me use it

Hi Iamjumbo, in the Bible that I studied it was: Thou shalt not kill. No matter, taking the life of another person to me, will always be a no no. The only reason that I would change my stance is for someone who has a terminal illness and is in great pain, then I might consider it. What about self-defence? Or assassinating a tyrant (say, Hitler or Stalin?) To me that's justified homicide. I'm not saying it's good but (like so many moral issues in life) it's sometimes the lesser of two evils. Hi Big Lin, it is up to each individual what decision they choose to put into action, keeping in mind that every action incurs a consequence. It is the law that we should not kill another human being. God's law of 'you reap what you sow' still stands, So a person would have to think seriously about their choice of action. Usually, if a dictator is assassinated there is always a person who is next in line, ready to take over, and they might be even more sadistic than the previous one. If to protect your own life you kill someone,you might be exonerated by the law of the land, but you will still have to face the repercussions of the law of Karma. Think about it!!!
