We have several examples of what happens when you actually fight back against evil in our world. As illustrated through several “Go Team” moments, sometimes violence is the answer and fighting does indeed solve problems.

During our Quiet Time moment from SilencerShop.com, Professor Paul takes some time to discuss balance and chi.

You are challenged to address areas in your life where you may not have balance.

A masked man burst into a 7-Eleven near Seattle early Sunday morning, swinging a hatchet and slicing the store clerk.

Before the masked man could seriously hurt anyone, though, a customer who was drinking his morning coffee pulled out a concealed weapon and fatally shot the attacker.

Authorities did not name the attacker or the customer, but they did hail the concealed weapon owner as a hero.

“This could have been disastrous,” King County Sheriff Sgt. Cindi West told KIRO7. “Had this guy not shot, who knows what would have happened? We might have a dead clerk right now, and instead we have a dead bad guy.”

The clerk, Kuldeep Singh, suffered minor cuts to his stomach. He, too, thanked the customer for saving his life.

“He [was] killing me,” Singh, 58, said of the hatchet-wielding attacker. Singh added that the customer was a “nice guy.”

West said that the incident will be investigated fully but that the 60-year-old customer was currently being considered a Good Samaritan.

The “customer, the shooter, is shaken up but from everything that we see right now from the scene – there’s no wrongdoing on his part,” she told King 5. “In fact, he probably saved a life in this case.”

The incident in Burien, Wash., about eight miles south of downtown Seattle, probably will add to the ongoing debate about concealed weapons and their effect on crime.

Concealed-weapon ownership has skyrocketed in recent years as more states have moved to allow it. The percentage of Americans who believe owning a gun will protect them and others also has risen steadily.

There is little consensus on the efficacy of concealed weapons in reducing crime, however. Although supporters of concealed-weapon ownership argue that it discourages crime, some studies have shown it has no effect. Other studies have found it actually increases crime.

Anecdotal evidence abounds on both sides of the argument.

An accused murderer who escaped from a Mississippi jail more than a week ago was shot and killed this morning by a person he held hostage during a nearly three-hour-long confrontation, police say.

“That is correct. He has met his maker,” Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said in an interview with 48 Hours’ Crimesider.

The eight-day hunt for Rafael McCloud ended around 7 a.m. when police were called to a home about a half mile from the jail McCloud escaped from on March 2. Vicksburg police chief Walter Armstrong said McCloud entered the house through an unlocked garage door at about 4 a.m.

During the next three hours, a husband and wife who were inside with their baby experienced what Armstrong described as “torture.”

The husband told police he confronted McCloud soon after the escaped inmate entered the home. Armstrong said it was apparent to police that the couple engaged McCloud in an intense fight, moving throughout the house.

Ultimately, the husband was stabbed in the shoulder, and McCloud managed to subdue both victims, tying them up, Armstrong said.

Then, before 7 a.m., the couple managed to get loose. One of them grabbed a gun and shot McCloud. By the time police arrived, he had already died, Armstrong said.

“This community has really been frightened for over a week, and that has come to an end as of this morning,” Armstrong said.

The husband is being treated at a nearby hospital for his injury, which Armstrong said is not life threatening.

McCloud was accused of rape, murder and other crimes, in the June 2015 death of Sharon Wilson. Police said he sexually assaulted the 69-year-old in her home, before bringing her to an abandoned hospital, where he allegedly shot and killed her. Wilson’s body was later found by a group of so-called ghost hunters exploring the hospital.

McCloud was indicted in January and escaped by using a homemade knife to corner a jail employee, stealing the person’s uniform, keys and radio, before fleeing.

Armstrong said police are now investigating the possibility that McCloud received assistance from people during his eight days on the lam.

“I believe he’s had help. He had on a nice white pair of tennis shoes, and he had jeans on that he didn’t have when he left jail,” Armstrong said.

A Florida man is wanted after attempting to kidnap a 13-year-old girl in broad daylight.
The unidentified girl was walking home from school on Wednesday in Pompano Beach, Florida, when a man in car pulled up along side her and asked where she was going.

The girl ignored him, at which point the man got out of his car and tried to pull the child into the vehicle by her waist, officials said.
Screaming, the 13-year-old was eventually able to break free and bolted, but the man continued to follow her in his SUV.

A nearby daycare security camera filmed the girl fleeing from the man as he followed her in his vehicle.
She eventually made it to the safety of a friend’s house and the man drove off.

‘The girl did everything right. She actually saved her own life, because she screamed really loudly. She kicked and she ran away,’ Joy Oglesby, a spokeswoman with the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

Broward officials are still searching for the attacker.
He is described as having reddish brown hair and a thin frame, appears to be in his late 40s or early 50s and was last seen wearing a red, short-sleeved shirt.

Police believe he was driving a tan SUV, which may be a Ford Explorer.
