The suspect 26-year-old Steffon Tolver is no stranger to the court system. In 2011 he pleaded guilty to first- degree robbery and was sentence to 15 years in prison, now this strike was his last. Crossroads Baptist, a church with a heart, is now dealing with heartache. After two church employees were robbed on church grounds resulting in the death of the burglar. "He completed one robbery in which he received roughly $50 dollars and proceeded to try to rob someone else and the second person had a handgun and shot the suspect while he was in his office," said LT. Brian Smith. It happened around 10:30 Sunday night. Although the church doors were open that morning, there were still worker there preparing for the upcoming week late into the night. "They were getting ready to go on a youth trip and they were working late to get ready for the trip in the morning," said LT. Brian Smith. Many may be wondering why this worker had a handgun on church grounds. "In a church or not wherever you are you have the chance to defend yourself in your home you have certain additional rights," said LT. Brian Smith. The second victim of the robbery fired a single shot into the upper torso of the suspect, who was 26-year-old Steffon Tolver. "He was obviously shook up by the events which he had no choice in it occurring and him defending himself," said LT. Brian Smith. "But he was put in a position where he didn't have a choice." As far as the police department is concerned there will be no charges brought against the victim the case will be presented to the grand jury There's no law saying you can't carry a firearm into a church; however, the church has the right to say nobody can bring a firearm in their facility. dothanfirst.com

The incident originally started at around 5:00 a.m. when deputies spotted a stolen car in the Wandermere area. After a pursuit, the suspect ditched the car in a field and took off on foot. Deputies set up a perimeter to look for the suspect. KHQ responded to the scene and provided an update on the police activity on The Wake Up Show on KHQ. Watching The Wake Up Show on KHQ was 17-year-old Kimber Wood's boyfriend and parents, who told her there was a car thief on the loose in the area and deputies were searching for him. Kimber's parents and boyfriend left for work and after seeing our story. Her boyfriend came across some deputies on his way to work and got more information from them. He then called Kimber to let her know what deputies told him. Kimber then called her dad and asked if she could grab one of his guns for protection. He said yes. Kimber grabbed a gun, placed it under her pillow and went back to sleep. A short time later she says she woke up to the sound of someone coming into her house. She grabbed the gun and hid behind her makeup vanity. She soon found herself face to face with the man on the run from deputies. Kimber pulled her gun out, pointed at the suspect and said, "Who are you?" and "Get the (expletive) out of my house!" According to Kimber, the intruder's eyes got really wide and he ran out of the house. As he was running from the home, Kimber says she fired one shot into the ground. Kimber says the suspect stole her boyfriend's ATV and fled the scene. Deputies searched for the suspect, but so far there has been no word on if he was apprehended. Deputies tell KHQ they know who they are looking for. Deputies also showed up to Kimber's house to tell her what a great job she had done and that they were glad she was okay. They showed her a picture of the man they were looking for and Kimber positively identified him as the man who was also in her house. More on this story tonight on KHQ Local News at 5. khq.com

Armed Florida Mom Ends Violent Attack on Neighbor Pinellas mom shoots intruder who attacked her and neighbor WFLA Web StaffPublished: July 1, 2017, 11:27 pm Updated: July 2, 2017, 6:26 pm TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. (WFLA) – Deputies say a Tarpon Springs mother was attacked early Saturday morning by an intruder she had shot just moments before while trying to protect her 3-year-old child and a neighbor. Investigators believe Daniel Morley, 18, was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he attacked the two women and forced his way into one woman’s condo. At 3:56 a.m. on Saturday, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a condo at 1344 Pine Ridge Circle East, after receiving a report of a suspicious person yelling and knocking on doors. When deputies arrived, they saw 18-year-old Daniel Morley, standing on the second story balcony wearing only boxer shorts. Deputies say Morley fit the description of the suspicious person described in the 911 call. After seeing deputies, Morley ran to the third floor and entered a residence. When deputies approached the condo, they heard yelling and banging on the walls inside the residence. Deputies say they knocked on the door and announced their presence. In the meantime, dispatchers told the deputies that someone at the condo was armed with a gun. Deputies say Morley opened the door to the residence covered in blood. Morley began attacking the deputies, who used an electronic control device to try and subdue Morley; however, the device had little or no effect. After a violent struggle with deputies, Morley was handcuffed and taken into custody. Deputies then checked the condo and found the victims, 31-year-old Brittany Cheek and her 3-year-old child, locked in the bathroom. Cheek told deputies what happened. She said she initially heard yelling outside of her apartment. When she looked out of her door’s peephole, she saw Morley physically attacking her neighbor, 52-year-old Susan Bass. Fearing for Bass’s safety, Cheek armed herself with her handgun and confronted Morley demanding he leave Bass alone. Morley immediately lunged at Cheek, who was standing inside the doorway of her condo. Deputies say Cheek was in fear for her and her 3-year-old’s life when she fired her handgun multiple times striking Morley in the leg. Morley then forced his way into Cheek’s apartment and physically attacked her in front of her 3-year-old child. When Cheek’s neighbors tried to intervene, Morley fought with them, allowing Cheek and her child time to hide in the bathroom until deputies arrived. Cheek’s neighbor, Susan Bass then told deputies what happened. She said that Morley was banging on her door, and appeared to be bleeding from his head. Bass thought he might be hurt and needed some help, so she opened her door. Morley began to make incoherent statements, about God and the devil, and would not allow Bass to close her door. He then became agitated and physically attacked her. Bass said she did not know Morley. Paramedics treated Bass and Cheek for minor injuries. Deputies say Cheek’s 3-year-old child was knocked down during the attack and received minor injuries. Corporal Noble Katzer and Deputy Matthew Ware suffered minor injuries. Deputy Peter Lamborghini suffered injuries to his hands during the violent struggle with Morley. Morley was treated at the scene for a gunshot wound to his leg. He was transported to Bayonet Point Hospital and was admitted for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Deputies say none of the victims knew Morley but they believe Morley was impaired at the time of the incident. Morley was charged with two counts of Simple Battery, two counts of Burglary with Assault or Battery, one count of Battery on Law Enforcement Officer, and three counts of Resisting with Violence. Morley was transported to the Pinellas County Jail after he was released from the hospital on Sunday. His bond was set at $301,000. wfla.com
