An Arlington man was fatally shot and another was injured in an apparent robbery early Sunday. A 21-year-old man was found lying in the parking lot of the Brandon Oaks Apartments, in the 1400 block of Wiscasset Drive, at 3:30 a.m. He has been identified, but police declined to release his name until his family is notified. A 25-year-old was found beaten and unconscious in a white Chevrolet Suburban. He was taken to Medical Center of Arlington, treated and released. Police said the two men had parked their Suburban at the apartment complex when two black men approached and beat the 25-year-old before shooting the other man, police said. Police believe robbery was the motive, because some personal items were taken. www.star-telegram.com/news/story/268520.html

Philadelphia Police Officer Chuck Cassidy has died from the wounds he suffered in a shooting when he walked in during a robbery at a Dunkin’ Donuts. Officer Cassidy, 54, a married father of three, died at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Hundreds of officers lined up at his bedside to pay respects. Cassidy, a respected 25-year veteran, walked into the doughnut shop after a witness told him "something" was happening inside. The gunman, alerted to the officer by a bell on the shop's door, turned to see Cassidy with his gun drawn. The killer took two steps toward Cassidy before firing one shot into his head from about five feet away. www.philly.com/inquirer/local/20071102_Police_Press_Manhunt.html

www.brisbanetimes.com.au/articles/2007/11/01/1193619005485.htmlKEN PROCTOR and his mates should have been at Sylvania Bowls Club last night sinking a schooner or two. He might have talked proudly of his new grand-daughter, born only a month ago. But the 66-year-old's chair was empty last night following his death, apparently after the most trivial dispute imaginable - over the watering of his lawn. He was hosing his large front lawn just after 5pm on Wednesday when Todd Munter, walking past Mr Proctor's brick two-storey house on Formosa Street, Sylvania, allegedly accused him of violating water restrictions. Even though Mr Proctor was in the clear - hand-held hose watering is permitted on Wednesdays and Sundays before 10am and after 4pm - Munter persisted, the two argued and, police allege, Mr Proctor turned the hose on the 36-year-old. That was when Munter took a spat over water use far beyond the pale, viciously attacking Mr Proctor, police say. He punched Mr Proctor, then pushed him over and kicked him while he lay on the ground, police allege. At some point during the attack Mr Proctor suffered what ambulance officers called a massive cardiac arrest. Mr Proctor, the father to a son and daughter, retired in 2002 to his large house, where he lived with his wife, Lynn, his daughter and her husband. Only a month ago he had become a grandfather when his daughter gave birth to a girl.

A 55-year-old hotel manager died after being shot in the head during a robbery at Comfort Inn. Cynthia L. White was working overnight as general manager of the hotel at 2904 Clark Lane. She fell dead in her office, just steps away from the front desk. Columbia police officers responded to the hotel at 6:14 a.m. after guests reported they had repeatedly called the front desk and no one answered. Officers discovered White’s body and found that an undisclosed amount of money was missing from the cash register. The same hotel was targeted in a similar robbery Nov. 16. Then, a black man in his early to mid-20s entered the hotel, which then was called Fairfield Inn, about 2:20 a.m. and said his car had broken down, police said. He asked a 50-year-old female clerk whether he could wait in the lobby until someone came to pick him up. After 20 minutes, he brandished a small-caliber handgun and stole the clerk’s 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. Police have not apprehended the man. www.columbiatribune.com/2007/Nov/20071125News002.asp

One for the Recidivist killers archiveFourteen years ago, Stanley Francis Maguire shot and killed John Vickers's father. Now Mr Vickers, a father himself, cannot believe it has happened to someone else. Maguire, 59, has been on the run for three days after allegedly shooting dead his neighbour, Stephen Holmes, after the father of four told him to be quiet. The man he had killed was John Thomas Vickers, who, like Mr Holmes, was a miner. Yesterday, Mr Vickers's distressed son, John - now 31 - told the Herald it should not have been allowed to happen twice. Mr Holmes's four daughters will suffer the pain he has lived with for 14 years. "They're going to feel worse knowing that the justice system let this bloke out after eight years and he did it again," said Mr Vickers, a father of two. In March 26, 1993, Maguire ran over Mr Vickers with an F100 truck in the car park at Doyalson RSL, on the Central Coast, and then shot him while he was on the ground. Maguire was charged with murder, but in 1994 a jury convicted him of manslaughter after debate over whether the gun fired accidentally. He was released from prison in 2002, and his parole ended two years. www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/11/27/1196036893214.html

www.star-telegram.com/news/story/363029.html Posted on Sun, Dec. 16, 2007 Mexican national held in slaying of 24-year-old man By DIANE SMITH Star-Telegram staff writer A 27-year-old Mexican national was in police custody Saturday night, hours after a 24-year-old man was fatally stabbed, police reported. Officers found the victim about 3 a.m. Saturday in the front yard of a house in the 1300 block of West Fogg Street, said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a police spokesman. The victim had been stabbed during an argument with an acquaintance, investigators learned. The man died at John Peter Smith Hospital, Sullivan said. Witnesses helped officers locate the suspect, and police and members of the Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team set up surveillance near a house while homicide detectives obtained a warrant, Sullivan said. "The suspect was observed loading a van with a suitcase and bags," Sullivan said. "It appeared he was in the process of fleeing." The suspect, who was not carrying a driver's license and is not a U.S. citizen, remained in custody Saturday facing a murder charge, Sullivan said. Police didn't release the name of the victim or the suspect.
