(Free Beacon) A South Carolina woman shot and killed an escaped inmate who broke into her home armed with an improvised weapon early Tuesday morning.
Pickens County sheriff Rick Clark said the woman acted in self-defense after shooting the man outside her bedroom door. The convicted felon got there after he and another inmate overpowered guards at the Pickens County Prison and fled. A short time later 30-year-old Bruce Webb McLaughlin Jr. broke down the back door of the woman’s home and grabbed a metal implement he took from the victim’s kitchen.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) —The quick action of a military veteran helped police put an Ohio man in custody early Saturday morning after making a threat to the public in Kalamazoo.
According to authorities officers responded to the 2700 block of West Michigan Avenue just after 2 a.m. for a report of a fight with a male who flashed a gun. When officers arrived they found a male suspect being held on the ground by a military veteran.
Witnesses said they saw the man flashing a gun during a fight then heard the man say he was going to “shoot everybody”, according to police.
Officers said as the suspect ran towards the crowd, the military veteran tackled the suspect, holding him until police arrived. Authorities said they found a loaded handgun on the suspect.
