Oops, Wrong Truck: Police said one of two men who tried to steal a
pickup truck from a group of people gathered outside a Murray Hill
home was shot several times by a homeowner and his friend.
Jacksonville [FL] Sheriff's Office Lt. Larry Schmitt said when police
arrived at the 3000 block of College Street, they found a man shot
multiple times. According to the police report, Keith Loftin was
outside the home with some friends shortly after 2 a.m. when two men
asked for a ride in Loftin's truck. Loftin said one of the men pulled
a gun on them and forced Loftin into his truck. Loftin told officers
that his friend, Barry Smith, ran into the house and returned with a
gun and Loftin pulled his own gun from inside the truck. Police said
both Loftin and Smith fired at one of the men, striking him multiple
times. The man shot, identified as Jamel Mobley, 21, of St. Marys,
Ga., was taken to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center and was in stable
condition. Police said the second man took off. Police were still
looking for him, but they have only a vague description…

Oops, Wrong House, California Version: Three suspects arrested in
Sutter County after an attempted home burglary ran into the worst of
luck - a homeowner with experience fighting off intruders. Two women
and a man, all Sacramento residents, broke into an isolated house at
about 2 p.m. Monday in the 3900 block of O'Banion Road west of Yuba
City, according to Sheriff J. Paul Parker. The owner, David Massey,
armed himself with a handgun and discovered one woman in his kitchen
while the other woman and the man fled out the back door, Parker said.
The suspects got into a Ford Explorer parked on the circular driveway
outside and drove it toward Massey, but he fired six shots toward the
vehicle just before it rolled onto its side, the 63-year-old homeowner
recalled Monday night… Massey's last encounter with suspected burglars
also ended in gunfire. On July 2, 2008, deputies arrived at his house
after he reportedly fired his handgun at a suspected burglar fleeing
in a pickup and held another alleged robber at gunpoint…

Oops, Wrong House, Kashmir Version: A teenage girl says she killed a
militant with his own gun after insurgents attacked their home in
Indian-administered Kashmir. Three militants stormed into Rukhsana
Kauser's home in a remote village in Jammu region on Monday and
started beating her parents in front of her. Ms Kauser, 18, and her
brother turned on the gunmen, killing one and injuring two more.
Police praised their courage. One of the militants wanted to marry Ms
Kauser against her will, police said. The militants escaped and are
now being sought by police who are using their blood trails as clues…
Ms Kauser said she grabbed one of the militants by the hair and banged
his head against the wall. When he fell down she hit him with an axe,
before snatching his rifle. "I fired endlessly. The militant commander
got 12 shots on his body." Her brother, Eijaz, 19, grabbed one of the
other militants' guns and also began shooting… "I had never touched a
rifle before this, let alone fired one. But I had seen heroes firing
in films on TV and I tried the same way. Somehow I gathered courage -
I fired and fought till dead tired." …

Rukhsana Kausar, 21, was with her parents and brother in Jammu and
Kashmir when three gunmen, believed to be Pakistani militants, forced
their way in and demanded food and beds for the night. Their house in
Shahdra Sharief, Rajouri district, is about 20 miles from the
ceasefire line between Indian and Pakistani forces. It is close to
dense forests known as hiding places for fighters from the
Lashkar-e-Taiba group, which carried out the Mumbai terrorist attack
last November. Militants often demand food and lodging in nearby
villages. When they forced their way into Miss Kausar's home, her
father Noor Mohammad refused their demands and was attacked. His
daughter was hiding under a bed when she heard him crying as the
gunmen thrashed him with sticks. According to police, she ran towards
her father's attacker and struck him with an axe. As he collapsed, she
snatched his AK47 and shot him dead. She also shot and wounded another
militant as he made his escape. Police have hailed the woman's
bravery. They said she would be nominated for the president's
gallantry award. She may also receive a £4,000 reward if, as police
believe, the dead terrorist is confirmed as Uzafa Shah, a wanted
Pakistani LeT commander who had been active in the area for the past
four years… (I don't recall Americans receiving awards and rewards for
shooting intruders who break into our homes.)
