Fatal Shooting Follows Fort Smith Home Invasion
FORT SMITH, Ark. -- Detectives said a suspect was shot to death after an attempted home invasion robbery. The Fort Smith police said shortly after 7:30 Friday night Chad Cancel, 27, entered the home at 8401 S. 30th Circle wearing a mask. Police said he came in through the front door, which was unlocked.Assuming everything the homeowner says is correct, it sounds like a pretty airtight good shoot. Dude comes in, cranks off a round to intimidate the homeowners, then starts herding folks into one area. There's no possible good that can come of that. Fortunately, Grandpa wasn't going out like that and got his own firearm and rendered Mssr. Goblin room temperature... It's a good thing goblins are so stupid - he brought this guy into his bedroom, then went to check something out elsewhere in the house. He never thought he'd run into someone who'd fight back.
The homeowner, James Kennel, 69, told police Cancel had a semi-automatic handgun and fired one round into the celiling. Police said Kennel's wife was home at the time, as well as his 5-year-old grandson, and mother-in-law.
His mistake proved very costly indeed - something that should befall more goblins around the country.
Dead Goblin Count: 96
Side note: It looks like we're going to break 100 by the end of 2010 - we need one a week to hit triple digits by 12/31. There should be something to mark the occasion...
That is all.

Don't worry, with all the Christmas robberies that are bound to happen, I'm sure you'll have at least one a week.
Hows about a patch. Black background with the final tally in large red numbers and the year 2010 in small white numbers.
Interesting that the goblin's surname was cancel. Fitting. Very fitting.
We sure as heck wont be pouring out good whiskey in memory of the DGs.
Good on Grandpa!! That's why we keep a safe in every "retreat" direction :)
