Attempted Burglary Escalates Into Violent Struggle
Late last Friday night, just past 11 p.m., the tranquility of the 900 block of East Park Avenue in Riverton, Wyoming was shattered. Officers from the Riverton Police Department, along with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, the Wyoming Highway Patrol, and the Shoshoni Police Department, were called to the scene of an alleged attempted burglary that had escalated into a violent struggle.
According to reports, a homeowner was involved in a physical altercation with an alleged intruder. The police were alerted by a concerned caller who reported the struggle.
At the scene, officers discovered a man in his 20s suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound. An eyewitness on the scene reported observing the man trying to forcibly gain entry into the residence, leading police to suspect him as the attempted intruder. The injured man was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
The homeowner, meanwhile, is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation, as stated by the police.
In addition to the physical evidence and eyewitness account, a significant amount of information has also been garnered from locals commenting on the Riverton Police Department’s Facebook page. The general sentiment seems to be one of frustration with the local crime rate, coupled with support for the homeowner’s actions.
One commenter posed the question, “What’s there to investigate?” They went on to say, “Sounds like a clear case of stand your ground/castle doctrine… the homeowner defended his/her property. Good for them!!! The people of this town are fed up with the crime — you’re going to see more and more of us exercising our rights because something has to give.”
Another user chimed in, expressing a lack of faith in the legal system’s ability to curb crime, saying “Seems that’s what it’s gonna take to make it all stop since the prosecutors won’t prosecute.”
The support for the homeowner continued, with one commenter exclaiming, “Good for the homeowner!!!! This is what it is coming [to]. Can I be on this jury???”, while another forcefully stated, “… needs to happen more. Teach these little Son-of-a- Bi….. what happens when you break the law.”
There were also many vows of support, such as the commenter who wrote, “HELL YES!! YOU GO!!!” echoing the overall community sentiment.

A tragic incident in Michigan has resulted in a teenage boy facing severe charges after allegedly shooting another teen and fatally wounding the teen’s mother, who was trying to protect her son.

The charges against Sneed include felony murder as a juvenile defendant, second-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, and four counts of felony firearm possession.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

If a person breaks into a home, they are not there to party. They are there to rob the home and if the homeowner gets in the way they will be harmed by the intruder. Therefore the intruder needs to be shot before he/it/she decides to harm anyone in the home. Case closed

Why should a man who does things the right way have to lose his life or the lives of his family so that a man who is too lazy to work can have what he wants by taking it by force?

Criminals, thieves, and thugs should bother bleeding hearts and do-nothing prosecutors. Leave the rest of us alone. We’re tired of being kicked and abused by the criminal element and soft-on-crime liberals.
