Oops, Wrong House: A New Jersey man who was shot and killed during a home invasion in Halifax Friday morning was likely seeking revenge for a two decade-old domestic dispute, according to Halifax County [NC] Sheriff Jeff Frazier. The investigation is ongoing into details of the 1988 dispute between Marcel Alston, of Halifax, and Carlton L. Burg… Investigators said that a knock woke up Alston around 7 a.m. at his house at 5524 U.S. Highway 301, where he lives alone. When Alston opened the door, Burgess, who had a gun, began assaulting Alston. Alston got away and was climbing up the stairs when Burgess fired, striking his victim in the buttocks, investigators said. Alston managed to get to his bedroom and got out a gun he kept there. Burgess followed Alston into the bedroom, and Alston fatally shot him in the upper torso, according to investigators… (Note that the shot to the buttocks, which is part of the pelvic area, apparently and predictably limited Alston's mobility but did not fully incapacitate him. Unless the round strikes one of the large blood vessels in the lateral pelvis, a shot to the pelvis is best viewed as one that could well require a follow-up, after the mobility of the "target" has been impaired.)

Oops, Wrong Car Wash: A man suffered life-threatening wounds when he attempted to rob another man at a midtown car wash and was shot by the victim, Tucson police said. The incident occurred at a self-service car wash on East 22nd Street near South Beverly Avenue just before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police said a 50-year-old man was at the car wash washing his vehicle when he was approached by an 18-year-old man. The younger man pulled out a gun and attempted to rob the older man, police said. The older man pulled out his own gun and shot the 18 year old. The younger man ran away and got into a car that was being driven by another person. A short time later, the 18-year-old man showed up at a hospital with life-threatening wounds, police said. The 50-year-old man was not injured. He's being questioned by police as is the driver of the car who took the wounded man to the hospital.

Homeowner Rescues Animal Control Officer: Plainfield [CT] Animal Control Officer Terry Foss was attacked by a "pit bull-type dog" late Tuesday night, according to Plainfield Police. Foss was responding to a complaint at 270 Green Hollow Road, where, according to residents, the dog was preventing them from exiting their home. On her arrival, the dog jumped at Foss, knocking her to the ground. Resident Ron Roberts fired "2 or 3 shots" from a .22 rifle at the dog, which police say yelped and ran away… Police Chief Robert Hoffman said Roberts will not face charges from shooting at the dog. He said the department thanked Roberts for his action. "It sounds like it could have been a lot worse had he not been there," Hoffman said… (Actually, Roberts had to have been there as the dog showed up at his home. It would have made more sense for Chief Hoffman to have expressed gratitude for Roberts having had the foresight to arm himself.)
