(White) Houston PD officer shot (by black thug) in northeast Houston; 2 arrested  HOUSTON - A Houston police officer was shot in northeast Houston on Tuesday while attempting to stop a robbery, police said. Officer Jason Rhodes, 32, who was shot in the arm, was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in stable condition. He was released from the hospital late Tuesday afternoon. With the bullet still in his arm, we're told Rhodes is in good condition and expected to make a full recovery and have full use of his arm. Houston police Chief Charles McClelland said during a press conference Tuesday that Rhodes saw two people just after noon with their faces covered outside a Family Dollar store. The two appeared to be getting ready to rob the store. Rhodes chased the men, and during the pursuit, shots were exchanged, the chief said. "The black man, he fell down after he jumped the gate and he shot the police officer," witness Alexandra Celestine said. At least one juvenile was arrested at the scene. The suspect was caught hiding in a shed in a resident's back yard near the Family Dollar where the incident began. A second suspect, Shelton Herald, 27, was caught by a K-9 unit in a heavily wooded area. He has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 2008, court records show. He is also a registered sex offender. "The ruthless thugs out here that are trying to take property, take things from individuals who work hard and are honest, hard-working people, and they want to take a short cut in our society and take property that belongs to others," " McClelland said. "(Rhodes) did a very good job out there. We're fortunate that he wasn't more seriously injured or possibly killed in this incident. It also highlights the danger that the men and women of HPD face every single day of trying to keep this city safe." - (Black-on-white) |

(White) Woman Pushed Onto SEPTA Tracks Speaks About Random (black) Attack  PHILADELPHIA — 27-year-old Lauren Lichtman says when she accidentally went past her usual 34th Street El stop Sunday morning on her way to work, she got off at the next stop, 40th Street, to head back. It was a decision that changed her life. Police say Lichtman, in a random attack, was shoved onto the El tracks by suspect Kenneth Grimes, who then pulled a knife and, as she sprawled injured on the tracks, threatened her, yelling, “kill, kill, kill.” Lichtman, who suffered a broken collar-bone and bruises, said she was “lucky” and her injuries could have been far, far worse. Fortunately, no train was approaching and she was able to climb back onto the platform. She also did not contact the electrified third rail that runs along side the track. The victim says none of the passengers waiting on the platform helped her from the tracks and, instead of staying to provide statements to arriving officers, they boarded the next train, leaving her alone on the platform. - (Black-on-white) |

US Supreme Court won't review appeal of NH's only death row inmate - Michael Addison convicted of killing (White) police officer  The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a petition from New Hampshire's only death row inmate to review his case. Lawyers for Michael Addison, 35, said the trial judge violated his rights by not allowing jurors to hear evidence he was remorseful and concerned about the Manchester police officer he shot in 2006 -- Michael Briggs -- after he was taken into custody. In a petition filed last year, they also challenged the judge's conduct in letting jurors hear about privileges a convict sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole might get behind bars, including television and work opportunities. The court issued its one-sentence decision Jan. 11; it was released Tuesday. The New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld Addison's conviction in 2013 and ruled the death sentence was fair earlier this year, when compared to other cases in which an officer was killed in the line of duty. On Oct. 16, 2006, Addison was wanted by police for a string of violent crimes, including several armed robberies and a drive-by shooting.
Briggs was 15 minutes from the end of his shift when he and his partner -- both on bicycle patrol -- confronted Addison in a dark alley. Jurors found that Addison shot Briggs in the head at close range to avoid arrest. - (Black-on-white) |

James William Lewis, 31, is accused of shooting then Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Shane Page in January of 2014. Lewis was wanted in an armed robbery at a fast food restaurant a month prior. Man charged in CMPD shooting facing federal charge for December robbery Page was serving an arrest warrant to Lewis when the two shooting happened, officials say. Lewis was already serving nine years for the Charlotte robbery when he was given the extra 25-year sentence. Incident reports state officers tried knocking on the door of the home to serve the warrant, but used a loud speaker when no one came to the door. Lewis' girlfriend, 21-year-old Kirstie Elaine Philomena Barratt, came to the door and told officers she had not seen Lewis for two months. She also gave them permission to search the home. The reports state that Lewis was found in an upstairs bedroom soon after officers entered the house, and there was an exchange of gunfire. Page and Lewis were both injured in the shooting. Page was shot in the shoulder and abdomen. Lewis was shot in the leg and sustained minor injuries. In court Wednesday, Lewis said Page shot first. He said he was pointing his gun at the officer and did return fire. Page had to have surgery but has since made a full recovery. - (Black-on-white) |

The man, Henry Bennett, was killed by the deputy just after 11 a.m. after the deputy pulled over Bennett’s car. Authorities say Bennett, who was riding with a young woman, drove the car into a driveway. He ran from his vehicle as the deputy was climbing out of his vehicle and began to run away. The deputy shouted “Stop” twice and “Get on the ground” as he followed Bennett. After a short foot chase, Bennett turned toward the deputy with a gun in his hand, and pointed the gun at the deputy, and emerged holding a handgun. “In fear of his life,” the deputy fired his weapon, striking Bennett twice, the sheriff’s office said in its statement. Bennett died at the scene. Bennett also had frequent run-ins with law enforcement. He was arrested four times last year, including twice on battery charges and once on drug possession charges.

(Black) Man pleads guilty in 2013 murder of (his white girldfriend)   The man accused of killing Burnsville High School graduate Anarae Schunk pleaded guilty on Friday to second-degree murder. Thirty-three-year-old Shavelle Oscar Chavez-Nelson, who is currently residing in the Stillwater prison, pleaded guilty to one count of murder in the second degree (unintentional), in connection with the stabbing death of Schunk, 20, in September 2013 at a home in Rosemount. Judge Kathryn Messerich sentenced Chavez-Nelson (also known as Anthony Lee Nelson) to an agreed upon sentence of 204 months in prison, though he will receive credit for already serving more than two years. “Once again I wish to express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Anarae Schunk for their great loss,” Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said in a press release. “The negotiated settlement of this case was agreed upon with the support of Anarae’s family who had expressed a desire to negate any additional trauma to family and friends that may have resulted from a trial. This conviction and sentence will not have any impact on the life sentence Chevez-Nelson is currently serving for the murder of (criminal Ethiopian migrant) Palagor Obang Jobi.” Chavez-Nelson is currently serving a life sentence without parole for the murder of Savage resident Palagor Obang Jobi, which occurred during the early morning hours of Sept. 22, 2013 outside a bar in Burnsville. The 204 month sentence will run concurrently with the life sentence imposed on the Jobi case. |

(African migrant) Machine Operator in Deadly Philly Building Collapse Who Spoke With Victim Learns Fate      As he drank coffee at his job site in the mornings, demolition subcontractor Sean Benschop often talked with Borbor Davis, who worked at the adjacent Salvation Army in downtown Philadelphia. The men, both immigrants, asked where the other was from. "I say I'm from Guyana. He say I'm from Liberia," Benschop testified Friday before he was sentenced for his role in a 2013 building collapse that killed the 68-year-old Davis and five others. "When I learned ... he was dead, I couldn't believe it." Benschop, who was operating heavy machinery the day of the collapse despite taking Percocet and marijuana for medical problems, was sentenced to 7 1/2 to 15 years in prison. Co-defendant Griffin Campbell was the cut-rate contractor who gutted the building from the inside, destabilizing it, rather than take it down floor by floor. He was sentenced to 15 to 30 years. City Treasurer Nancy Winkler called it "disturbing and distressing" that her family will have to go through a second trial in civil court to seek justice for others involved in the building demolition that killed her 24-year-old daughter, Anne Bryan. |

Fayetteville home invader receives a little frying pan justice  FAYETTEVILLE - Glenn Tew used his favorite frying pan to fight off an intruder. "The fact that he would come in and invade our own home and just do the kind of damage he had done, no one should have to put up with that kind of mess." Tew said. Thursday, just before midnight, Tew went to check on a noise in his den, and confronted 21 year old Sheldon Dix as Dix broke through a glass door. "And I hollered at him, and he proceeded to come charging at me trying to knock me out, we kind of locked horns and fought on the floor." Tew said. Tew's wife heard the commotion and ran to help her husband. She tossed the frying pan to her husband. "I think my wife hit him in with a metal trash can a couple of times" Tew said. "And once I got the frying pan, I proceeded to give him a good dose of that."
