BREAKING NEWS……..Brink’s officer shot during robbery by; Rick McCann www.privateofficer.com

Douglasville GA. Nov. 26, 2007

Brink’s armored guard and a suspect were injured in a shooting Monday inside the Arbor Place mall in Douglasville.
Mall general manager Bill Ball said a Brink’s armored car guard was wounded in the shooting, which occurred about 11:45 a.m. at an upper level entrance near the food court.
The guard was taken to a local hospital with injuries that Ball said did not appear to be life-threatening.
A suspect was also wounded in the gunfire, and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital said Ball, who did not know the severity of that man’s wounds.
Ball said no shoppers or mall employees were wounded.
“Fortunately, it being a Monday morning after a major weekend, and [the mall] was not as crowded as it could have been,” Ball said.
The mall, which is just off I-20 about 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta, was locked down, with no one allowed to enter or leave the mall. The mall was reopened at 1:30 p.m., Ball said.
The shooting happened just outside the Johnny Rockets restaurant, according to one witness. Leigh Knight of Carrollton had just sat down at the restaurant with a friend and three children when she heard the shots. “It was a lot of shots, like nine,” she said. “after about the fourth one, we figured out what it was and we threw the kids under the table and we laid down on top of them.”
When she saw security run toward the shooting, she got up and left the area. “I saw a Brink’s man laying face up — he was conscious. There was another man next to him laying face down,” Knight said.
She fled to the Sports Stop store and stayed there while the mall was locked down. Sports Stop owner Paul Limbaugh said SWAT teams were roaming the mall with their guns drawn.
All schools in the county were placed on a “code yellow” alert, said Zack Spencer, director of security for Douglas County schools.
Spencer described code yellow as a “higher sense of alert,” in which all exterior doors were secured and any students outside of the buildings were brought inside.

Cross dressers wreck McDonald’s store www.privateofficer.com

Cross- dressers wreck McDonald’s store by; Rick McCann www.privateofficer.com

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 26, 2007 — They may have looked like women, but they weren’t ladies.
Police in Memphis said they’re working on a more detailed description of three men dressed as women who came into a McDonald’s restaurant with a tire tool and started swinging last night.
Restaurant employee Martez Brisco was working the drive-through window and he said there was an argument there. Brisco said when he ignored them tapping at the window, things got strange.
Police Lt. Trevor Tisby said the cross-dressers came inside and decided they wanted to fight with the restaurant crew.
Witnesses said the men hit the manager with a tire tool and — when he swung back at them — kicked off stiletto boots and pulled off hoop earrings and jackets for a fight.
When it was over, the manager was taken to the hospital after being hit in the head with a “wet floor” sign and Albert Bolton was bandaged from where he said his attackers used their fingernails to scratch him.
Before they drove off, the three attackers smashed the drive-through window.

9 Year old boy arrested for chasing adults with gun www.privateofficer.com

LEBANON, Tenn. Nov. 26, 2007 — A 9-year-old boy is accused of shooting a rifle at an adult caretaker and another child and then chasing them with a steak knife, authorities said. No one was injured.
The victims of the Nov. 17 incident said the boy, who was not identified, took aim at them with a rifle, according to a police report. One victim said he hid behind a tree, at which point the boy fired and hit the tree.
The boy then took the butt of the rifle and broke the glass of the door of the home, the report stated. After the boy calmed down, the caretaker let him back into the home.
The victims said the boy later ran at them with a steak knife he grabbed from the kitchen, so they locked themselves in a room. While inside, the boy stabbed the doors to the rooms several times.
The victims, an adult caregiver and a juvenile, said the boy later ran toward them with a knife while laughing.
A deputy responding to the call heard slamming doors and screaming from inside, and could see the child through the broken window in the door.
The deputy found a six- to nine-inch steak knife under the couch and detained the boy.
The boy was released to his mother on a temporary custody order by Judge Barry Tatum. A juvenile citation was issued and the boy is scheduled to appear in juvenile court.

Security officers shoot it out at club www.privateofficer.com

Milwaukee Wi. Nov. 26, 2007 Police are questioning 3-5 security guards after a deadly shooting at a nightclub in Milwaukee Sunday overnight.
Officers say a 27-year-old man was killed and a 32-year-old man was wounded outside Club Escape just before 2 a.m.

Officers say the victims were involved in an argument inside the nightclub and were asked to leave.
The shooting reportedly happened after the men went to their car.
Investigators say the guards may have exchanged gunfire with the men.

One source said this is what happened;
Five armed security guards returned gunfire from two men outside a Milwaukee nightclub early Monday, killing one and wounding the other, according to police.
The two men were asked to leave Club Escape about 2 a.m. Monday, according to a news release from the Milwaukee Police Department. They went to a car in the parking lot, retrieved guns and began firing from inside the car at security guards in front of the club.
The security guards shot back, killing a 27-year-old man and wounding a 32-year-old in the shoulder, police said.
There was another shooting at the club last June, and the bar has had its license suspended twice for incidents that required officers to respond, police said.

This is under investigation and more details will be released police said.
