Detroit police conducting a gun buyback event gave out cash for 739 guns, but one guy got nothing for a pair of grenades he brought in. The Detroit Police Department said the Tuesday event at Second Ebenezer Church collected 339 rifles, 376 handguns, 24 assault rifles and two grenades, which were promptly detonated by authorities. Sgt. Eren Stephens said the man was paid for some guns he brought in, "but we don't buy grenades." Stephens said the event was so successful that event partner Continental Management used up the $20,000 it brought for the exchanges.
A 22-year-old Alaska woman said she punched a black bear in the face to save her small dog from being turned into bear chow. Juneau resident Brooke Collins hit the bear Sunday night to save her dachshund, Fudge. She discovered the bear crouched down, clutching Fudge in its paws and biting the back of his neck. "It had her kind of like when they eat salmon," Collins said. "I was freaking out. I was screaming at it. My dog was screaming. I ran up to it ... I just punched it right in the snout and it let go." Collins said her boyfriend then scared the bear away. "I think it was more startled than anything," she said. The dog was not seriously hurt in the attack, but Collins said she's tending to the animal's wounds and keeping her inside for now.
