Oops, Wrong House: Two village residents who police said were shot by
the owner of a Warren Avenue home after they broke into the residence
are in jail facing felony burglary and robbery charges. Julio Urena,
17, and Juan Martinez, 25, pleaded not guilty to the charges Monday
afternoon in Village Court. Haverstraw [NY] Village Justice Ronald
DeCaprio set bail at $50,000 for each suspect. Urena was shot in the
buttock and Martinez was shot in the arm after a home on Warren Avenue
was broken into shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday… The homeowner shot both
suspects with a rifle, he said. No charges were brought against the
homeowner. Permits are not required to own a rifle… (This shooting was
mentioned in another item, shared yesterday.)

Oops, Wrong Store Owner: A Chicago man suspected in an attempted armed
robbery was shot and killed Thursday night in what Akron [OH] police
are calling a confrontation with the owner of a neighborhood market at
Raymond and Campbell streets. Akron Police Lt. Rick Edwards said the
store owner, Ali Ahmed, 59, had closed for the night and was walking
to his vehicle in the rear parking lot at about 7:30 when the suspect
approached. There was an exchange of gunfire - witnesses reported
seven or eight shots - and both men were hit, Edwards said. Ahmed was
taken by ambulance to Akron General Medical Center with wounds that
were not life threatening, Edwards said… According to police radio
traffic moments after the shooting, one man was shot in the head and
the other in the hand… Ocie Priester, a 60-year-old who does interior
remodeling, said Ahmed was aware of the dangers of owning such a store
and took measures to protect himself. Ahmed had a .44-caliber handgun,
he said, and showed it to him once… (Note the shot to the hand,
presumably Ahmed's. I have long cautioned that guns, gun hands and
gun-hand arms and shoulders are often hit in gunfights. This is why
it's important to learn to shoot with either hand and to have a
firearm available to either hand. I recognize that it is possible that
the hand struck was not the gun hand but one used in a defensive
movement.)
