Brave California Man Douses Arsonist With Bullets Posted at 10:47 am on March 6, 2017 by Beth Baumann Last week, 48-year-old Maurilio Miranda attempted to light a Fresno, California home on fire. What he didn’t expect, however, was for the homeowner to fire up his gun. fresnobee.com When police arrived on scene shortly after 6 a.m. on Wednesday, March 1, Miranda was taken into custody on charges of attempted arson, assault with a deadly weapon and trespassing. According to police, this was not the first time Miranda had an incident at this particular residence. In fact, he was arrested on February 8th on felony vandalism charges after he broke 20 windows, causing $4,800 in damage. The second incident occurred two days later, on February 10th, when Miranda made his first attempt at burning the house down. After the two incidents, the homeowner installed a security system and purchased a firearm for protection. The family spotted Miranda outside, pouring gasoline out of a soda bottle along the perimeter of the home. That’s when the homeowner grabbed his gun and came outside. Miranda even attempted to set the homeowner on fire by flicking gasoline and a lighter at the man. That’s when the homeowner shot a warning shot into the ground. But that didn’t stop Miranda, who picked up a board and raised it, as if he were going to strike the homeowner. At that point, the homeowner fired the second warning shot into the ground and gave Miranda a final warning, saying he would shoot him if need be. Miranda dropped the board and the homeowner held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Violent Home Intruder No Match For Armed Oklahoma Homeowner Posted at 12:24 pm on March 7, 2017 by Jenn Jacques A homeowner in Del City, OK had to resort to quick thinking and a quick draw when his house was targeted by a violent home intruder Saturday night. Police say the incident happened in the 4400 block of SE 37th Street about 9:30 p.m. after the suspect aggressively broke through the homeowner’s front door. Officers said there was an altercation leading up to the shooting, because the homeowner was also injured. news9.com “The person shot was possibly out here in the street parked in a car a short time earlier where a female had left him in a very intoxicated state,” said Del City Police Major Jody Suit. The suspect was taken to OU Medical Center by paramedics and died at the hospital. The homeowner was also taken to a hospital for his injury. The homeowner told police he did not know or have any association with the suspect and police confirm the homeowner is not facing any charges stemming from the incident at this time.
