Arlington, Washington - On Monday Keira Earhart,38, pulled into his driveway to witness someone running from his house. He went inside to find his wife’s jewelry missing and called 911. Police arrived but after a search, were unable to find the burglar. A second 911 call was made a few hours later, Earhart telling police that the burglar was back in the area and that he had ran into a field near his house. Police arrived a second time, finding Earhart in the field, but once again they were not able to find the burglar. On Wednesday morning a neighbor called police saying he had found the body of a man in a creek near Monday’s burglary. The body was of a 25-year-old who had been shot to death. After a little investigating, police learn neighbors heard shots on Monday, before the second 911 call was placed. One reported Earhart told them he had taken “warning shots” at the burglar. Earhart was booked into jail facing second-degree murder charges. The dead man did have the stolen property in his possession.  Not sure if the Castle Doctrine applies in Washington, but even if it did I am pretty sure it doesn’t cover shooting a fleeing burglar in a field near your house three hours after the crime was committed.

Ok, just watched the video . If I were a lawyer, I’d have this guy doing probation on reckless homicide charges or some shit. How in the hell is a jury going to convict a guy known in the community for volunteer work and working with foster children for an act he may not have done on purpose? Sure, it was a dumbass thing to do as “warning shots” do not usually find themselves in the back of a running man. But still.

SORRENTO, Florida - After having lawn-mowing equipment stolen before, Shane Biel installed an alarm on the locked trailer he uses to house machinery for his lawncare business. But around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning, the alarm went off from someone breaking in for another go. The homeowner went outside, armed with a firearm and confronted 23-year-old Brett Lee Canada who had used a pair of bolt-cutters on the lock Biel had installed. Biel says Canada lunged at him so fearing for his life, he opened fire, killing him. Police say Canada has a history of this type of crime. No charges are expected to be filed against the homeowner. Detectives believe the man’s story and under the Castle Doctrine, a Florida resident can defend themselves and their family in their home with deadly force. You ever been in an argument and have someone come in to help, but turns out they are an idiot? Yeah, read the comments made by Biel’s neighbors. It includes this gem: “Hey, the guy entered. That’s what we move to America for. We protect our stuff“

WINTER GARDEN, Florida – One lucky family, I think. 48-year-old Rubens Morais and 27-year-old Marcela Borges were home with their 5-year-old son on Sunday when four masked intruders took them hostage. They were all tied up and blindfolded and taken to Apopka. The next day, Borges was forced to withdraw $23,600 from the bank. They were then taken back to their home. Sometime Tuesday, Borges removed her bindings as well as the mask of one of her young, female captors. Not liking that, she reportedly stated “She saw my face and knows who I am. You have to kill her!” Borges, not liking that, jumped from a second-story window. As she ran to a neighbor’s house, one of the captors opened fire on her, hitting her in the side. All four captors then fled the scene. Victor Manuel Sanchez, 20, and Miguel Diaz-Santiz, 25, and Oscar Diaz-Hernandez, 19 have been arrested. The female suspect is still at large.

FERRUM, Virginia – 23-year-old Jessica Goode was out in the woods collecting frogs for a science project with two other Ferrum College students when 100 yards away 31-year-old hunter, Jason Cloutier, took aim with his high-powered rifle and fired — mistaking Goode for a deer. The bullet struck Goode in the chest, passed through her and through the hand of 20-year-old Regis J. Boudinot. Goode turned to Boudinot and stated “I’m going to die” and then collapsed. Cloutier immediately tried to help Goode, but it was too late. Although this is a tragic accident, Cloutier was not supposed to be hunting on the property. He now faces charges of manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm and trespassing. He is currently out on bail. A Remembering Jess Goode Facebook page has been created if you want to stop by. I would advise anyone not wearing a bright orange vest with blinking Christmas lights, and a loud speaker exclaiming “I am NOT a deer!” to stay out of the Virginia woods during hunting season.  Continue on for some videos.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma police say the suspect in the deaths of four people has turned himself in. 28-year-old David Allen Tyner surrendered to the Mayes County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday and now faces six murder charges. He is a suspect in the deaths of Jennifer Lynn Ermey, Casey M. Barrientos and Millie Barrera and 22-year-old Brooke Phillips – one of the prostitutes featured on the HBO reality series “Cathouse.” On November 9, their bodies were found in a burning home where Phillips and Barrera had been shot to death – Phillips was shot six times. Both women were pregnant (hence the six murder charges.) A motive is not known at this point, but Tyner supposedly knew one of the victims. There may be more arrests to come as police do not feel Tyner acted alone. Radar Magazine has a lot of articles about this case and it looks like Phillips hung out with a pretty rough crowd. I’m not familiar with Phillips or the show “Cathouse” and I’m lazy. Anyone care to enlighten?

Highland Park, MI - Information is still trickling in on this one, but here’s what we have so far. It is being reported that at around 2:15 Monday afternoon, witnesses watched Jamarr Pinkney Sr. march his naked 15-year-old son, Jamarr Pinkney Jr., out of a home and to an empty field. Once at the field, Pinkney Sr. allegedly ordered his child to “get on the ground” – the boy could be heard saying, “No daddy, no.” Pinkney Sr. grabbed the boy’s head and fired one round. Witnesses say Pinkney Sr. then calmly walked to his vehicle and drove off. The teen died from his injuries later that afternoon – authorities took Pinkney Sr. into custody a few hours after the execution. The boy’s aunt, Yolanda Cherry, states that father and son had been arguing in her home earlier that day. “He beat my nephew real bad in the head where he had knots like he had been in a boxing ring,” she said. When she tried to intervene, Pinkney Sr. pulled out a gun. “I ran down the street to get police down here and I heard a gunshot.” As always, we’ll keep you updated as more information is made available.

Video report of possible motive. It’s pretty unbelievable:

San Francisco, California – In what has come to a shock to everyone, gunfire erupted at a hip hop concert. Nine people where shot outside of San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom Sunday night after leaving the sold out “House of Soul” concert put on by the hop and R&B radio station KMEL. Two groups got into a fist fight that escalated to one or more individuals breaking out the firearms and wounding nine people in the crowd. All are expected to live, but the shooter has not been apprehended or identified. I doubt police are getting much help from witnesses as I am sure no one saw anything. Interesting promo poster, though. Prophetic, even. Ya know, I liked concerts better when they simply ended with Christians handing out pamphlets. I’ve never had as much fun spitting as I did back then.

SUMTER COUNTY, Florida – Denise Textor, 59, was charged with attempted first degree murder after shooting her husband twice in the chest with a .38-revolver while he was taking a shower. Dennis was able to escape the home through the bathroom window and call 911 from a neighbor’s home. He was airlifted to the hospital where he was in stable condition on Friday night. Married for 17 years, the couple had retired to Florida from New Jersey where Dennis was an assistant chief law enforcement officer and Denise was a detective. While police where trying to get her to come out of the house, a possible motive for the shooting was revealed. Denise told investigators she could not take Dennis Textor’s controlling ways any longer. Congrats Denise, you don’t have to worry about that any longer.

KISSIMMEE, Florida – September 19th was a long day of drinking and arguing between Phillip Lee Rogers, 63, and his wife Tammy Rogers. At some point, Rogers looked at his wife and asked “Why don’t you just kill yourself?” Tammy then asked for Phillip’s gun. She placed the gun to her head, pulled the trigger but nothing happened. The gun was not loaded. She then told Phillip to put load the gun, which he did by placing one round in the chamber and handing her the gun back. Tammy then placed the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. Tammy was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center where she survived her injuries, although she is now unable to care for herself. Following their investigation, police arrested Phillip on Friday, charging him with assisting with an attempted suicide.

WEST PHILADELPHIA – Scarce info at this point, but the news is reporting that two teens got into an argument on a school bus that ended when a 15-year-old pulled out a gun and shot at the 17-year-old, grazing his ear. The injuries were not life-threatening, but the victim shit his pants was taken to the hospital where he was reported to be in stable condition. The suspect then shoved the gun in the bus driver’s face before getting off and fleeing the scene. He was arrested a couple blocks away still carrying the .25-caliber handgun. The school bus was on its way to the CEP Miller Disciplinary School, where both the shooter and the victim are students. No word on if the bus had cameras installed. By time police arrived, some of the students had left the bus and walked the rest of the way to school.

Belen, New Mexico – The story of any son getting so angry at their father that he would shoot them in the back of the head is tragic enough but this story is compounded by the fact that Benjamin Hilburn was only 10 when he pulled the trigger. Benjamin would state in the 911 call that he was angry at his father, 42-year-old Bryon Hilburn. He would expand on that later, telling investigators he felt his father was too harsh with him and punished him too much. In August police say Benjamin shot his dad in the back of the head with a shotgun while his 6-year-old sister was in the room. Benjamin, now 11 years old, is in the custody of his mother and has been charged with first-degree murder. It is quite possible he is the youngest person to be charged with murder in New Mexico, a state that does not charge anyone under 14 as adults. Continue reading to hear the full 911 call as Benjamin desperately tries to get someone to the house to save his dad.

The reason why he is with his mother, and not in jail or a juvenile facility is because in New Mexico, you cannot detain anyone under the age of 12. Valencia County DA Lemuel Martinez has concerns that the boy may act out again on someone else, but CYFD spokesperson Romaine Serna says the boy is being closely monitored. “There are several people in the home on a weekly basis. A CYFD clinical social worker is providing services to the family as well as contract providers. So there are several visits during a week,” he said.

The boy’s attorney, Jeff Buckels, says it is preposterous that the boy would be capable of committing deliberate murder. “Murder in this state and everywhere else requires premeditation and requires some appreciation for what is going on,” said Buckels. “I think it is basically obvious to almost anyone that is asking too much of a 10-year-old.”

Back in September, his mother, Monica Albear, defended her son saying that he was being abused. “They’re basically trying to say he’s crazy and he’s not, he’s a very intelligent, he is very loving, he’s very caring. He worries about his mom a lot. I would like for people to quit voicing, putting mean things on the Internet, because it’s just not fair,” Albear said. “They don’t know who he is, they don’t know what he’s been through, they don’t know what my family has been through. And I think it’s wrong and I think my son deserves justice.”

Why would she leave Benjamin and his siblings in the custody of Bryon if she knew that there was abuse in the home. Some reports state that she has been absent from the children most of their life – but her claims of abuse are not unfounded. Children, Youth and Families Department reported its investigators checked out the the home at least seven times in the last several years but said they never found evidence of abuse. Of course the calls could be vindictive in nature, but still – this fact along with Benjamin’s statements give a bit of validity to the claim.

While we do not have the full details of the events leading up to the shooting, you heard the 911 call. What do you think? Based on his demeanor and comments in the 911 call, did Benjamin commit first-degree murder? Was it a form of self-defense? Here is a news video report after the shooting incident. Oh, and Maria Medina? Call me.

NEW ROCHELLE, New York – 29-year-old James Pileggi, an Eastchester police officer for two years, was off-duty the other day sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV with two other men. He was showing how the laser feature on his 9mm Glock service weapon worked when he accidentally showed 27-year-old Andrew Everett how deadly the weapon is by shooting him in the throat. Everett, who was standing outside of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the hospital. Pileggi has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. Defense attorney Angelo MacDonald, “The deceased is a very close friend. He was in tears over this.“

FLEMING ISLAND, Florida - When Dana Whitelaw, 47, got out of the shower Tuesday morning, she found her entire family dead. Her husband, Jerry Whitelaw, 49, had shot their two children — 16-year-old son, Kevin, and 11-year-old daughter, Katy — while they slept. He then turned the gun on himself. Court records show that Dana had filed for divorce in late August after 16 years of marriage, but continued to live together during the process. Police have no records of ever having to go to their residence in the past. Kevin was a junior at St. Johns Country Day in Orange Par, Katie attended Grace Episcopal. I think what makes this particular murder-suicide is the blatant purpose behind it. Jerry wanted Dana to live after this, knowing it was the best possible way to hurt her. Kill her kids, then let her live with that fact. Absolutely horrifying in its cold-blooded callousness. I can not possibly imagine anything my wife could do to me that could have me killing my own kids to get back at her. That is signs of one very, very selfish man – or one that is extremely mentally disturbed.

Claremore, OK – With friends like Preston Dohrer, you might want to think about a life insurance policy. Or, hey, how about a whole new class of friends? As is evident in Preston’s Myspace pictures, he likes to party. And set shit on fire. And, as is evident with his dead friend, Michael Duke, Preston also likes to play with guns. Emergency personnel were called to Preston’s residence at about 1:45 Saturday morning. When they arrived, they found 20-year-old Michael laying on the living room floor bleeding out of the gunshot wound to his forehead. Seems the boys had been drinking that night and horsin’ around a bit. Witnesses told police the two were involved in a bit of “horseplay” and were “playing around with each other and playing with knives.” Sounds like a rip-roaring good time to me! Let me grab my Ginsu! A witness to the horseplay told officers that Preston walked into his bedroom, returned to the living room, pointed a pistol at Michael’s head, and pulled the trigger. wOOt! What. Fucking. Fun. Now Michael Duke is dead and Preston Dohrer is charged with second-degree murder and feloniously pointing a weapon at another person. Bond has been set at $250,000. Great video of Preston “pissing fire” after the jump. I must warn you though, after viewing the video, I seem to have lost 3.5 IQ points.

SAVANNAH, Georgia – 22-year-old Scott Allen Elder and 24-year-old Brian Matison got into a series of escalating arguments over the phone and through text messages all because of a misdialed number. These exchanges led to the pair deciding to meet in an CVS parking lot at 2:30 a.m Tuesday to settle their differences. This meeting of the minds ended with Matison being taken to the hospital in serious condition after Elder shot him. As for Elder, he ended up with a damaged vehicle and a trip to Chatham County jail on a felony aggravated assault charge. Police are calling the incident senseless. “We don’t know what the circumstances are. What we do know is that it was just a mistaken phone call. The two men did not know each other prior to that and they allowed a text conversation to escalate to physical violence,” says SCMPD Spokesperson Veda Nichols.
