Michael Spearman heard an unusual noise in his house one morning and went to investigate. Spearman discovered two men rummaging through his gun cabinet. The homeowner had armed himself with a .357 Mag. revolver and, when he confronted the intruders, shot at one would-be burglar, who fled. Spearman then held the other man at gunpoint until sheriff's deputies arrived. "I didn't know what to think when I saw two men in my house," Spearman recalled. "One kept advancing at me; I had to do something." Sheriff Herbie Johnson praised Spearman's quick thinking. "Every person has the right to defend themselves and their homes," Johnson said. "This man had the presence of mind to handle the situation. He captured one suspect and was able to give us a good description of the other." Johnson said Spearman's actions might help them solve several burglary investigations.

Marine Corps Sgt. James Lowery was on leave in his hometown of Gardendale, Ala., at the end of an eventful year. Lowery had started the year by marrying his sweetheart, April Leigh Fitzgerald, and soon after he spent two months in Afghanistan. Now he was home enjoying the holidays with family and had stopped at the drive-in window of the local McDonalds for a quick bite. That's when a man with a .38-cal. handgun ordered him out of his customized Chevy Suburban. Lowery complied and got out of his SUV, but the man then shot the Marine in the face. Lowery reached back into his vehicle, drew a .45-cal. pistol and shot his assailant several times. The robber, Thaddeus Antone, was pronounced dead at the scene. Lowery was listed in fair condition at a local hospital.

A newspaper carrier saved the day, and a man's life, when he shot a man holding a gun to the head of a Birmingham, Ala., convenience store clerk during a robbery. Sam Harper was outside a Chevron convenience store filling newspaper racks when he saw a man put on a wig and burst into the store, screaming at clerk Tom Burnett and pointing a shotgun at Burnett's head. Harper acted immediately by drawing his own gun, entering the store and firing three times at the gunman. The wounded robber dropped his shotgun but ran toward Harper, who shot him twice more. "I just reacted," Harper said. "It was total chaos, and it was pretty terrifying." Burnett credits Harper with saving his life. "I was looking down the barrel of a shotgun, and a shotgun don't miss," he said.

What the hell is he doing, firing a warning shot into the floor?
It leaves him with one less shell and now he's got to fix the floor.

Depending on how Alabama laws are written, the surviving robber could be charged with murder.

A North Mobile County, Ala., man exchanged gunfire with a suspected burglar when he and his wife surprised two men leaving their daughter's home, authorities said. Bill Stuckey, who owns a local meat packing business, received a call at work from his daughter's neighbor saying that there were two suspicious-looking men hanging around the house. Stuckey and his wife drove over to investigate and saw two men leaving their daughter's home as they pulled into the back driveway. One pointed a gun at Stuckey, who said it was like "looking the devil in the eye." The man fired over his head and Stuckey returned fire with his .357 Mag. revolver, causing the suspects to flee.

Kathy Hughes and Ellen Nix froze in their tracks after coming face-to-face with a 350-lb. male African lion that escaped from their neighbor's wild animal business in Hope Hull, Ala. The women's terror quickly turned to rage, however, when they noticed that the animal was chewing to death their favorite miniature horse. After yelling at the lion, Nix approached it and fired twice from her .32-cal. revolver. The beast dropped the then lifeless horse, but refused to yield. That's when the unusual incident turned bizarre. The women proceeded to chase the lion first on foot and then aboard a tractor until they pinned it and fired more than a dozen additional rounds to finally dispatch the big cat. Reports later indicated that the lion had escaped with a female and had mauled other horses. The animals' keepers whose business is called 'Crazy Critters' later destroyed the female.

Days after several men pistol whipped Curtis Williams in the back yard of his Bessemer, Ala., home and threatened his 82-year-old mother in a dispute about a stolen television set, one of the men came back for more. Williams, who walks with a cane, told police that as the man approached they exchanged words. "I warned him not to come forward," said Williams. But as he continued to advance, the man reached into a bag. That's when Williams fired a fatal shot from his .22 rifle. "I wasn't going to let them kill me and my mother." William's assailant had a criminal history that included convictions for robbery and assault.
