Decatur, Alabama

From the March 18, 2005 Decatur Daily:

Gunfire from a would-be victim sent three armed men fleeing for an exit, police said, bumping into each other like The Three Stooges after they allegedly tried to burglarize a Decatur woman's home.

Investigators captured two suspects Thursday, charging Bernard Obrian Driskell, 19, and Tavarius Learon Gladney, 17, with the March 9 home invasion.

Decatur investigator Jeremy Hayes said Thursday that Driskell, Gladney and a third man were armed when they kicked in the door at Tinisha Octavia Allen's 407 14th Ave. N.W. home about 11 p.m.

"Allen was in her living room," Hayes said. "She grabbed her pistol and shot Driskell twice in his chest. They were bumping into each other like Larry, Moe and Curly trying to get out of her house."
