Girl Shot in the Back of the Head After Playing on Neighbors Property

Posted on May 10, 2023 by admin

On May 7, 2023, tragedy hit the small community of Starks, Louisiana, as a 14-year-old girl was shot while playing hide-and-seek on a neighbor’s property.

According to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office, the teen was shot in the back of her head, taken to a hospital, and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The alleged shooter, 58-year-old David Doyle, was taken to the Calcasieu Correctional Center, charged with aggravated battery, four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, and illegal firearm discharge.

The incident occurred on Jimmy Doyle Road, which is home to only three families. Doyle stated that he had seen some shadows outside his home, and thus, he had gone inside to get his firearm before returning to the outside and shooting at what he assumed were people running away from his property.

Due to the state’s “stand your ground” law, David Doyle could potentially use the law to his advantage as a defense in this case. The law states that a homicide is justifiable “when committed by a person lawfully inside a dwelling, a place of business, or a motor vehicle … when the conflict began, against a person who is attempting to make an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, or who has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, and the person committing the homicide reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.”

The case is heartbreaking for the tight-knit community, which is now torn and in shock over the incident that left a young girl injured. The future of this case is uncertain, but its profound impact on the town of Starks is now all too clear.

Man Cons Home Depot Out Of Thousands with Barcode Scheme

Posted on May 10, 2023 by admin

Aaron Hoster, an experienced conman, is facing federal charges for an audacious scheme to defraud Home Depot stores. The scheme, which began at the end of 2020 and ran for approximately 18 months, involved an unprecedented ticket-switching tactic.

Hoster would scrap the barcode from items that cost under $30 and then place it on more expensive items, such as power tools, worth up to $1,200. After transferring the barcode, Hoster would attempt to pay for the higher-valued tool using the code from the lower-priced item.

In one example, Hoster attempted to fraudulently purchase a Honda generator worth $1,299 with a price tag belonging to a generator adopter that was valued at just $37.50. It is alleged that he attempted this same tactic in a Home Depot store in Waterville, Maine, on March 13th. After store personnel noticed his suspicious behavior, Hoster fled the store, leaving the property behind.

This wouldn’t be Hoster’s first conviction of the same crime. Documents show he had already been convicted of ticket-switching in Maryland and Pennsylvania in November 2022. Federal authorities arrested him in Westminster, MD, after his initial convictions.

Now, Hoster is looking at a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted of wire fraud, and a possible fine of up to $250,000. Federal Judge Maurice J. Dumas ordered Hoster to be held without bail on Friday. It is estimated that Home Depot has lost thousands of dollars due to Hoster’s illegal activities.

Hamas gives green light for rocket fire but stays out of fighting

Who knows how long it will last? For now, the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip says it’s staying out of the current fighting.

Hamas gave Palestinian Islamic Jihad a green light to fire a barrage of rockets at Israel on Wednesday.

Sources inside Gaza told the Tazpit Press Service that Hamas is so far staying out of the fighting and is not firing its own rockets at Israel.

A Palestinian source with a connection to the Gaza Coordinating Room, the local headquarters for terrorist groups to plan their strategy, told TPS it was surprising that PIJ had rockets capable of reaching Tel Aviv.

Hamas came under heavy pressure for not joining PIJ in firing rockets in August 2022. During a 55-hour period, terrorists in Gaza launched about 1,000 rockets at Israel in response to the arrest of the group’s leader in Judea and Samaria, Bassem Saadi, on August 1.

That conflict did not win Islamic Jihad broad support. Many in Gaza were angered when 120 rockets were misfired, often landing inside the Strip, and in some cases killing Palestinian civilians.

On Tuesday, Israel launched surprise air strikes on Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets, including killing three of the terror group’s senior figures. Military positions belonging to Islamic Jihad were struck, including a rocket factory and a facilitythat produced concrete components for terror tunnels, the IDF said.

The strikes on the Islamic Jihad leaders come against the backdrop of a rocket barrage fired by the terror group following the death of Khader Adnan on May 2. The imprisoned Adnan, a senior Islamic Jihad figure, died after an 86-day hunger strike. The terror group had threatened throughout Adnan’s hunger strike that it would hold Israel responsible for its member’s death.
