Homeowner shoots alleged intruder — then suspect kicks open ambulance door, runs off, and is so combative when cops recapture him that he's injected with sedative



A Texas homeowner shot a man over the weekend who allegedly tried to break into the homeowner's residence — but when the suspect was getting treatment, he kicked the ambulance door open, ran off, and was soon recaptured by police.

What are the details?

San Antonio homeowners told police that a man was in their yard and was trying to break into their home around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, KABB-TV reported.

One homeowner said he warned the suspect about the possibility of getting shot, the station said.

But after the suspect charged toward the home's back door, authorities told KABB that the homeowner shot the suspect twice.

What happened next?

Police were driving around the 300 block of Wilmot Street when they heard gunshots, after which they conducted a search and found a man in his 40s with gunshot wounds to his right thigh and elbow, the station said.

KABB said officers called for help and began to treat the man in an ambulance — but officials added to the station that the man decided he didn't want treatment, kicked the ambulance door open, and tried to flee.

The station said the man was immediately apprehended and brought back into the ambulance.

But that wasn't the end of the cops' problems.

Police told KABB that the suspect was so combative that he was sedated so medical staff could treat him.

Police are still investigating the incident, the station said, and no other injuries were reported.

Anything else?

Sunday's incident was at least the second time in fewer than three weeks that a San Antonio homeowner was forced to fire a gun at an intruder. In late April, a male broke into a San Antonio home while a mother and her three children were inside. However, the mom had a gun and shot the intruder dead.

VIDEO: Juneteenth revelers twerk, pose on top of ambulance coming to help at deadly shooting scene



Juneteenth revelers whooped it up Saturday in the wake of a deadly shooting at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California — a number of them taking it upon themselves to twerk up against an ambulance that came to help.

And there was hooting, hollering, selfies, and smiles all around:

Here's the clip:

The celebratory twerking also was seen on video in a KGO-TV report of the shooting:

But the report's voiceover merely noted that "police said first responders were delayed getting to the scene by massive crowds."

What are the details about the shooting?

Oakland police said the 6 p.m. shooting — which resulted in the death of a 22-year-old man and the wounding of seven others — was not random and is tied to San Francisco gangs, KGO reported.

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said there were several shooters at the 2200 block of Lakeshore Avenue amid a crowd of 5,000, the station said, adding that the wounded victims were reported in stable condition.

Two suspects running from the scene with guns were arrested, KGO said, but police later determined they weren't responsible for the shooting.

The Daily Caller said Oakland police did not immediately respond when asked if they were aware of the twerking clip.

Anything else?

The deadly Oakland shooting was among a number of violent incidents that took place on Juneteenth — marking the end of slavery in America — which President Joe Biden made a federal holiday last week.

The Daily Caller said an EMS worker in Raleigh, North Carolina, was shot while reportedly coming to the aid of a child in need of medical assistance. Also, a 19-year-old woman was shot and killed after police say she fired first at an officer during a parade in Flint, Michigan.
