One suspect, Javone Williams, 26, fired at the homeowner, who was trying to stop the break-in. Williams was shot, received medical treatment, and was later jailed.

Take these steps to protect yourself from winter weather dangers
SUMMARY: As winter weather approaches, safety concerns arise including carbon monoxide poisoning, hypothermia, and frozen pipes. Public safety officials emphasize preparation to mitigate these hazards, especially as heavy snow and cold temperatures impact areas from Kansas City to Washington. Staying indoors can increase carbon monoxide risk from heaters and generators. Hypothermia also poses a threat, particularly in colder regions and for vulnerable populations. To prevent frozen pipes, it’s advisable to insulate exposed pipes and let faucets drip. Electric vehicle owners should be prepared for reduced battery performance in cold weather, but improvements are being developed.
