On the evening of Sept. 6 in Dania Beach, Fla., a man was allegedly robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of a gas station. The suspected robber then entered the station and robbed the clerk as well. When he returned outside, he reportedly began to run at the man he’d previously robbed, and this time, the victim shot him and then attempted to hold him at gunpoint. As he did so, a third man allegedly attempted to run over the armed citizen, so he jumped out of the way and shot at the driver. Responding police had both suspects transported to the hospital for treatment, where the driver died of his wounds. Police briefly detained the armed citizen, and the investigation was ongoing.

An elderly man was at home in Cherokee Village, Ark., on Sept. 10 when an intruder broke through his sliding-glass door. The homeowner had been expecting his wife to return from church and initially thought she’d made the noise but heard a man speaking, so he retrieved a firearm and backed himself into the corner of his bedroom. The intruder began approaching the homeowner anyway and disregarded orders to stop, so the armed citizen shot and killed him. The investigation was still ongoing, but the intruder was identified as a man who’d been released from a detention center earlier the same day. (src-news.com, Sharp County, Mo., 9/11/25)
