MANDEVILLE, La. — A shooting at a gas station left one person dead in a possible of self-defense case.

According to Mandeville Police, the shooting happened at the Shell station, at 3959 Highway 22.

Police said two people, both males, were involved and both were customers at the gas station. The initial call to police started as a call to help clear a disturbance and it turned into a response to a shooting.

‘We got a call around 10:15 a.m. this morning, what we call a disperse subject. Apparently, the store was having a problem with a customer,” said Capt. Ron Ruple. “They were asking that law enforcement come and remove the subject.”

According to Mandeville Police, the victim, later identified as Shawn Breland, 42, of Folsom, was inside the store and after buying something he began berating the clerk. The clerk ordered Breland to leave the store, and Breland came back inside several times.

Another man who was inside the store and carried a visible firearm in a holster also tried to de-escalate the situation and warned Breland to leave.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A man working at a West Side Cleveland deli turned the tables on two armed robbers Wednesday night when he drew his own weapon and forced the robbers to surrender.

Two men were arrested following the incident at Suleyman’s Supermarket on the 3100 block of Marvin Avenue, police said. The suspects, a 19-year-old Parma man and an 18-year-old Cleveland man are in jail awaiting formal charges.

The deli owner, a 54-year-old North Olmsted man who asked to remain anonymous, said in an interview Thursday that if he wasn’t armed, the robbers likely would have killed him and his friend.

“I was so panicked and scared,” he said. “They would have killed both of us. What’s going to stop them?”

The owner was manning the store about 9:45 p.m. and talking to a friend who was helping him run the shop, police reported. Two masked men burst into the pointing guns and demanded money.

Both suspects fled the scene after the elderly man opened fire.

AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — One man was arrested and police are searching for a second suspect after a robbery at Home Depot.

Amarillo police said officers were sent to the Home Depot at 2500 S. Soncy on a robbery around 12:45 p.m. on Saturday.

According to police, the suspect, 35-year-old Ricky Solis, had taken power tools from the store and left without paying.

Police said a loss prevention officer made contact with Solis in the parking lot and he tried to flee. However, the loss prevention officer was able to catch him and the two became involved in a struggle.

During the struggle, police said a second suspect went up to the two men who were involved in the struggle and tired to help Solis get away. The second suspect kicked the loss prevention officer in the face. He then went back to his vehicle and pulled out a tire iron.

A citizen who saw what was going on then pulled out a handgun and told the suspects to get on the ground.

Fresno, Calif

A Fresno man said having a concealed weapons permit saved his life.

Police said the man was attacked by a man with a knife, who possibly tried to rob him. The suspect, however, soon found out he messed with the wrong person.

Raymond Mata says he got a concealed weapons permit four years ago. He says he never had to pull the trigger on his gun before, but that almost changed this morning.
