Woman shoots at thief as he runs from store

Woman shoots at thief as he runs from store

A woman in suburban Detroit opened fire on a shoplifter after seeing a security guard chase him out of a Home Depot store, police said.
The shoplifter in Tuesday's Home Depot incident was not injured, the Detroit Free Press said.
It was not clear if the woman, who has a license to carry a concealed weapon, would face any charges for taking the law into her own hands.

The 48 year old woman, was in the parking lot when she saw a security guard chase a black man in his 40s out of the store. The man jumped into a waiting sports utility vehicle and the woman opened fire when it began to pull away. Police believe she shot out one of the tires.
The Auburn Hills police published some details on Twitter.
It noted that "business was not disrupted" and asked for the public's help in locating the "getaway" car.
The incident comes just a few weeks after a bank customer in a neighboring Detroit suburb shot a robber as he was fleeing the scene.
The local mayor said the 63-year-old man, who also had a license to carry a weapon, acted within his rights because the robber threatened him on his way out the door.
The robber, 43, was treated in hospital after being shot once in each arm and once in a leg.
"I'm happy that no one was seriously injured," Jim Fouts, the mayor of Warren, Michigan, told the Detroit Free Press at the time. "He apparently exercised some caution by not shooting the robber in a vital area."

Vigilante shoots self dead while trying to scare thieves

Vigilante shoots self dead while trying to scare thieves

Ogundare Ekundayo who was a member of a neighbourhood watch, was one of a three-man team guarding Osholanke Street, Ebute Meta. Ogundare accidentally shot himself dead while attempting to scare away thieves from the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that around 4am, when they were expected to round off guarding the area,, Ekundayo reportedly shot into the air to scare away any thief that might be in the area as was the vigilante's’ custom.

However, when he fired the shot, the bullet hit an object which ricocheted it towards him and struck him in the head.
His duty colleague, Fatai Raimi, reportedly ran to the spot upon hearing the shot, and discovered the victim dead.
The matter was immediately reported at the Denton Police Division while Ekundayo’s remains were taken to the Mainland General Hospital mortuary.
The police arrested Raimi, who insisted that he was innocent.
Raimi said:“I have known the deceased for some time now. He was my boss; he recruited me into the vigilance group, but we were employed by the community.
“There were three of us guarding Osholanke Street, but the third person did not come that day because he was ill.

“My master (Ekundayo) and I were together, but when it was getting to 4am, he went down the street alone.
“I suddenly heard a shot from his gun and I rushed there only to see he had mistakenly shot himself dead.”
A source said the victim was not properly trained on how to use a gun.
He said:“The man was not trained to use a gun. He did not handle it well and when he opened fire, apparently to tell the residents they were done for the day and to scare any thief, the bullet hit him instead.
“But one thing that is also not clear is how the man and his team had access to a gun. We are investigating all these.”
Ogundare's corpse was said to have been released to the family for burial, while the suspect was transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation.
 
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, when contacted on the incident said he would call back. But he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

Pregnant 12 year old girl may become one of Britian's youngest mother

Pregnant 12 year old girl may become one of Britian's youngest mother

Current youngest mum in the UK
A teenager is facing life in prison after he got a 12-year-old girl pregnant in Belfast.
The schoolgirl allegedly got pregnant after having sex with a 19-year-old man. 
If she carries to full-term, the young girl - whose family are said to be in shock - could become one of Britain's youngest mothers.

Police confirmed that the 19-year-old was arrested last Thursday after the pregnancy was reported to police and has been released on bail, pending further inquiries.
If it is found that he had sex with the girl, he faces being charged with rape, which can carry a life sentence if he gets convicted.
 
According to UK law, anyone aged under 13 is not legally considered to be able to give consent to sex, so those who engage in sexual activity with them face a charge of statutory rape.
 
A Police spokesman said:
'Police arrested a 19 year old man in the West Belfast area on Thursday 1st October in relation to a sexual offence. The man has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.'  
 
The girl who is believed to be UK's youngest mother gave birth last April after getting pregnant by her 13-year-old boyfriend while she was still in primary school.
 
The 11 year old girl and the baby’s father were said to be ‘totally in love’ and had been going out for a year when she got pregnant. 
 
She then gave birth at 12 years and three months, making her five months younger than Britain's previous youngest mother.
 
The youngest father on record is Sean Stewart, of Bedford, who became a father aged 12 in 1998.

Public office holders from 1999 should be probed-Osoba

Public office holders from 1999 should be probed-Osoba

At the exhibition of books written by Nigeria’s Poet, and public commentator, Odia Ofeimun, tagged, Special 40-Plus Book Exhibition that took place yesterday at the Agip Recital Hall of The Muson Centre, Lagos, former governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, said that past public office holders since the transfer of power to civilian government in 1999 should all be probed.
He said:
“Those who have held public offices in the civilian era should all come back and account for their stewardship, if you really want everybody to be accountable, I’m suggesting that the president should make all of us come back and account for whatever we did when we were in offices since 1999, since the return of civilian government. There should be thorough examinations of our actions, 2003 was not under Jonathan, so the probe must begin from 1999 because once you pull the root, the root will pull all the grass around.

Glass walkway 3,500 feet above ground cracks under tourists' feet

Glass walkway 3,500 feet above ground cracks under tourists' feet

Tourists were horrified as a section of a new glass-bottomed walkway at Yuntai Mountain Geological Park in Henan Province, China, cracked under their feet on Monday.

 The walkway, which just opened as a tourist attraction last month, is suspended at a height of about 3,500 feet. The glass cracked after a tourist dropped a stainless steel mug on the walkway, according to the Yuntai Mountain tourism bureau.
There are three layers of glass and only one broke, so the bureau says the tourists were in no danger - but the walkway is closed for repairs.
