Missouri Man Accused of Shooting Thief Over iPhone Thought “Stand Your Ground” Protected Him
A Missouri man told police he thought the state’s new “stand your ground” gun law would protect him after allegedly shooting another man Monday, according to KTLA sister station KTVI in St. Louis.
Karl O. Henson, 23, admitted he opened fire while running after a man whose back was turned, he later told officers in a probable cause statement.
Henson, who faces charges of armed criminal action and first-degree assault, told police, “the only reason I thought it was OK to shoot at him while he was running away was because of what happened with the new year with the gun law change,” officer Spirit Stevens wrote.
Missouri instituted the “stand your ground” law in January 2017, after the state legislature guaranteed the passage of Senate Bill 650 in September, despite Governor Jay Nixon’s earlier veto. The law allows people to use deadly force instead of running away, as long as they believe deadly force will be used upon them.
On Monday afternoon, Henson met up with a 20-year-old man who wanted to buy an iPhone 7 from him, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune. While examining the phone, the 20-year-old allegedly took off with the device, running behind a duplex in a cul-de-sac on Riva Ridge Court in northern Columbia.
Henson told police he chased the man into a field, firing six shots and dropping one unspent round as he ran, according to the statement.
The shooting victim was wounded in the heel, and a private vehicle took him to University Hospital, police said.
Henson was arrested at the scene and taken to Boone County Jail, where he is being held without bond.

Arkansas Mother of 4 Builds Home for Family From Scratch Using YouTube Tutorials
With two bad marriages behind her and debt that came with them, Cara Brookins, an Arkansas mother of four, needed a place to stay for her and her four kids.
But Brookins, who writes young adult novels for a living, didn’t have the money to hire builders. So she built one by herself — using YouTube tutorials.
“Things can get a little expensive when you are escaping an abusive relationship and have four children,” Brookins explained.
Brookins’ initial intention was to buy a home. But she found they were either too expensive or just too small. Then she realized that YouTube is a great tool for how-to’s.
So after careful research, Brookins brought an acre of land in Bryant, Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock, and began building.
She started in 2008, watching videos in the evening, making a list of the tools she’d need. She tallied the cost of supplies for her dream home: $130,000.
So she sold a small property she owned.
Her children, Hope, Drew and Jada and Roman — ages 17 to 2 at the time — helped along the way.
“My oldest son, Drew, helped me draw the blueprint to get approved by the city,” Brookins said.
Brookins and her children worked on the house for nine months. Jada would haul water from the neighbor’s pond to make a mix to help lay the foundation. Drew helped move lumber. Hope would cook for everyone.
“The entire process brought our family closer together and we learned that nothing is impossible. We found new hope,” said Brookins.
But all the YouTube learning can’t fill all the holes in one’s knowledge. So Brookins enlisted the help of a friendly firefighter who had past building experience. She would pay him $25 an hour, when she could afford it, to help her with some of the tasks.
Finally, on March 31, 2009, the family moved into its 3,500-square-foot house. Brookins called it Inkwell Manor because, she said, she wanted a place where she could write and one that reflected her passion for books and writing.
The house has five bedrooms and a library.
The experience is now the subject of a book, “Rise: How a House Built a Family,” which comes out January 24. Brookins said she hopes the book inspires others to never think small.
“I never intended to write a book. I was ashamed. But I think it is important to shift your perspective on any negative situation and do something big,” she said.
“Never think of your situation as a solo journey,” she added. “You can heal and grow together with your family.”

Ashley was last seen at 5 p.m. on Monday. Jackson Township police had said they believed she wandered out the back door.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office issued a missing child alert for Ashley just before noon Tuesday.
Earlier Tuesday, officers used dogs to search a wooded area behind the restaurant from Portage to Mega Streets. The Jackson Township Fire Department used a drone and a ladder truck to help with the search.

Former “Attack On Titan” Editor Arrested For Wife’s Murder
The Tokyo Metropolitan police has just arrested Chonhyon Park on charges of homicide this Tuesday morning. 41-year-old Park is the assistant editor-in-chief of Kodansha‘s Morning magazine, and was an editor of the popular anime and manga series Attack on Titan manga series.
According to the Criminal Investigation Division, Park allegedly strangled his wife, 38-year-old Kanako Park, to death in the early morning on August 9, 2016 at their home in the Bunkyō ward of Tokyo. Later on at around around 2:45 a.m. that same morning, Park dialed 911 and told them that when he arrived home, he had found his wife unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs near an entrance to their home. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
In the report Park claimed that his wife killed her self by hanging but an autopsy report showed signs of strangulation around her neck. There was also security camera footage showing no signs of an intruder entering their home. The couple including their four children were home at the time of the incident.
Kodansha has stated that “Park maintains his innocence. We await the results of the investigation and are dealing with this incident with the utmost caution.”
It’s sad when you hear about people who are SUPPOSE to love and cherish one another killing one or the other. To top it off these four kids lost both parents not just one, one to murder and the other to the system. Hopefully justice is served quick for this scumbag.
