According to the Phoenix authorities, there has been two people to suffer from some serious injuries after an assault at a local Phoenix Ice Cream Shop on Friday night. How crazy is that? You think of ice cream shop’s friendly and kind of safe. Family oriented I guess, so to hear someone was assaulted at one, blows my mind.   The police say that the assault happened just before ten o’ clock at night. It took place at 16th Street and Thomas Road which is at Realeza Michoaccana Paletria and Neveria.

The Phoenix police told the local news that the ice cream shop owner, another person, and his nephew were all approached by a stranger. The then proceeded to get into a dispute out side for the ice cream shop. The officers on scene stated that the stranger had even left at one point then cam back with four people. Those five people then started assaulting the shop owner, nephew, and whoever the other person was in side at the time.

West Phoenix Shooting Ends Deadly for Teenager

 

The Phoenix Police Officials are now investigating a scene after a teenager was sadly shot and killed in the West Phoenix area on Sunday night.

 

Sgt. Steve Martos from the Phoenix Police said that seventeen year old Christopher Garcia as well as four other people were walking northbound around ten o’clock Sunday night. They were walking on 67th Avenue near the Van Buren Street when a truck pulled up beside of them. Sgt. Martos said that there were two armed suspects that got out of the truck. Three people from the walking group quickly ran away from the area, however Garcia and another person stayed with the truck.

 

17 Year Old Teenager Shot

 

Sgt. Martos stated that the seventeen year old was sadly shot and then the suspects drove away. The teenager victim was transported to the local hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead. The investigating officials found a burning vehicle later. The vehicle was located near the 32nd Avenue and Coronado Road. The vehicle matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle. The Phoenix Police are working to hopefully see if the vehicle is indeed related to the tragic teenager being shot.

 

At this time there is no definite description of the shooter’s looks. Because of this tragic event that lead to a teenager to being shot, traffic was expected to be delayed that morning so that the Phoenix police could investigate the scene. I can’t imagine what this teenager’s parents and family are going through at this time. Hopefully the investigators are able to make some headway and find some evidence pointing them into the right direction of the person who shot the seventeen year old young man. If anyone knows anything about this shooting, please contact the local Phoenix authorities with the information.

Man Charged For Stabbing A Person at Walgreens

Man Charged For Stabbing A Person at Walgreens

Man Imprisoned for Stabbing Walgreens Customer

 

Times are getting pretty tough when you can’t even go to the local pharmacy without being attacked. Personally I would be terrified to be a bank teller, convince store employee or anything that has to do with dealing with money in the public. People are struggling and will do anything to get some money. Heck most people that are robbing others are just trying to take the easy way out.

 

A man has now been charged for the attempts of first-degree murder. He allegedly was involve with stabbing a customer at Walgreens. The suspect, Christopher Gale purchased a knife from the local Walmart on September 21st. Christoper used the knife to stab a Walgreens customer who was shopping at the time. The Walgreens was located at West Osborn Road and North Central Avenue, according to the police.

 

Christoper Gale Attacks Walgreens Customer

 

According to the Phoenix Police, Christopher approached the shopper from behind and stabbed the female victim in the back of her neck. The lady then turned to face Christoper Gale and that is when he told her that he was “I’m killing you to save the world”. She then pushed him away and screamed. The victim and suspect did not know each other.

 

Luckily a federal agent was in the store as well, he was off duty at the time. The federal agent was standing in line at the checkout when he heard the female victim scream. The agent then ran to see what was happening. The agent was luckily armed and pointed the gun at Christoper Gale. He took control of the situation and yelled for Christoper to drop to the ground, Gald complied. The federal agent then held Christopher at gunpoint until the police backup was able to arrive. The suspect was read his Miranda rights and then Christopher admitted to buying the knife because he just wanted to “stab and kill” someone.

 

The female victim suffered from a large laceration and puncture wound to the base of her head. Authorities say it was 1.75” deep.

Cardinals Player Charged For Abusing His Wife and Son

Child Abuse Cases Near Phoenix

Cardinals Running Back In Trouble for Abusing His Wife and Son

 

Jonathan Dwyer who is a running back for the Cardinals, is in some trouble. He allegedly head-butted his wife as well as punched her. He allegedly threw a shoe at their infant son and even threatened to commit suicide if she contacted the police.  Talk about a crazy situation. The domestic abuse case had started back in July. The court records showed that Dwyer allegedly tried to kiss his wife and remove her clothing at their apartment in Phoenix. She resisted and even told her husband to stop several times. She even bit his lip to try to get away from him, that is when he allegedly head-butted her.

 

Court records show that a witness even heard the yelling and they then called the police. When the officers got to the scene, the saw the wife and the young boy (17 months at the time). She had lied to the police and told them she was alone and was “just arguing with a relative over the phone”. However the investigators didn’t fall for it and while they were there investigating they found Dwyer in the bathroom.

 

The wife left as soon as the police did. She did return after Dwyer supposedly sent her a text saying he would kill himself as well as a picture of a knife. She later told the investigators that Dwyer threatened to kill himself in front of her and their son if she told the police. The following day things got out of hand yet again. Another argument led Dwyer to allegedly punch his wife and throw a show at their son’s stomach. The wife did try to call the police, but Dwyer threw the phone from their second story apartment window.

Witnesses See Wife’s Bruising Face from Cardinals Player’s Abuse

Witnesses say that they did see swelling and bruising on the wife’s face. They even heard her admit that someone had hit her. The wife left Arizona and then reported the alleged assault the Phoenix Police Department. She only felt safe enough to tell after she left Arizona. She even sent the investigators photos of the tore up apartment and the messages from Dwyer.

Cardinals Player, Dwyer was arrested on Wednesday for suspicion of aggravated assault, criminal damage, and preventing someone from calling 911. He, of course, has denied all allegations of physical abuse. He did however admit that he punched the walls in their apartment and then threw his wife’s phone. He was released Thursday morning after bail was posted.

Woman Shoots Burglar After Breaking Into Her Home

Woman Shoots Man After Breaking Into Her Home

Woman Defends Herself Against Burglar

 

Times are hard and people are even rougher these days. Break-ins and violence is on the rise and there’s nothing law enforcement can do about it until it already happens. People need a way to protect themselves from people trying to harm them, so when a widow shoots a man for breaking into her home and threatening her, then I say “Heck Yea!”. No one should be afraid to live in their own home.

 

Local NEWS was able to hear the 911 recording of the moments from the incident. The widow had to huddle in her bathroom and hide as she was confronted by the burglar. The woman then shot the man who is being charged with breaking into her home. The woman was on the phone with the 911 before, during and after the shooting. She remained on the phone until authorities were able to arrive.

 

Woman Protects Herself The Right Way

 

Police investigators say that the forty-seven year old homeowner did everything right. She called 911, armed herself and hide. Just what they would want her to do. On the recording you can hear the whole scary scene play out.  The break in and shooting happened back on May 6th. After twenty year old Michael Lewis stayed in the hospital for a month for his gunshot wound recovery, he was arraigned in June.

 

Luckily for the widow, her husband wanted her to be safe and taught her how to shoot the .38 caliber handgun. According to the News, on the recording you could hear her yell to the 911 dispatcher that the suspect had beat on her before she shot him.

 

Michael Lewis didn’t argue the charges. He pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary as well as aggravated assault. He was granted bond and now is waiting for sentencing on September 15th, which is just days away. This will be the first time the burglary victim will see her assaulter since the night of the attempted burglary.  Hopefully this story will inspire other people to take some gun control classes and learn how to protect themselves as well. Or perhaps this might warn other burglars to think twice before trying to rob someone, you never know who might be waiting for you.
