[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] 1: Branford, FL 12/23/99 : Evading a months-long manhunt, Brian Franklin -- whose criminal pursuits included drug manufacturing, car theft and home burglary -- met his demise at the hands of a homeowner intent on self-preservation. Franklin broke into a Mayo, FL home with a handgun by his side, but was momentarily halted when the homeowner's wife locked the inner door. Franklin raised his gun at the woman, which was when her husband leveled a 12-ga shotgun at Franklin's chest and pulled the trigger. The mortally wounded ruffian retreated from the house and expired later in a nearby wood. 2: Knoxville, TN 12/22/99 : Stanley Horn and his wife were at their home one evening when a knife-wielding man forced his way inside and proceeded to tie them up and lead them upstairs. But the hopme invaded apparently didn't do a thorough job on Horn's knots, and he was able to free his hands and shot his tormenter three times, killing him. 3: Charlotte: NC 1/2/00 : Bail bond agency owner Juliet Williams stopped by her ofice early one morning and found Judal Caudle, a career criminal stealing office equipment.

Four shots rang out, sending glass toward Sphar who retreated to his bedroom, grabbed a .357 Mag. handgun, and fired. The inept home invaders fled. 5: Phoeniz, AZ 12/24/99 : Reynaldo Batista had just given a man and his female companion a ride when the man pulled a gun while the woman relieved Batista of his wallet, watch, and car keys. As Batista and the man became engaged in a struggle, Batista pulled his own Glock handgun and fired twice. The would-be robber, who had a lengthy criminal record including several outstanding felony warrants, died of his wounds. 6: Clinton, NC 12/24/99 : Convenience store owner Ali Odeh suspected something when he saw acustomer enter his store and keep one hand in his pocket. The man approached him, pulled a hammer and demanded "Give me your money!" Odeh promptly upped the man's ante by producing a gun. The fleeing would-be robber was caught by police soon afterward. 7: Miami, FL 12/18/99 : As Garnett Campbell stood in line at his bank's ATM, a man standing at the next machine made a threatening gesture and ordered "Give me all your money." A brief struggle ensued, until Campbell pulled his licensed handgun and fired, mortally wounding his would-be robber. 8: St Petersburg, FL 12/22/99 : 62-year-old widow and grandmother Betty Kulas was awakened by a crashing sound. Arming herself, she went to the living room, and, seeing a man moving through her kitchen, fired, wounding the intruder who was caught later hiding in a field and charged with burglary. The man reportedly later told his mother, "I am so tired of this. I really want to go straight." 9: Knoxville, TN 12/11/99 Attempting to evade police, shooting suspect James M. Smith ducked into Tom Campbell's Glass Company's supply room, where Campbell caught him reaching into his pocket. Campbell drew his .40 cal. pistol, held it against Smith, and held him for police. 4 down, 5 out. Not a bad inning. [/QB][/QUOTE]
