A couple of interesting items in Kansas:

LEAVENWORTH - A 27-year-old Leavenworth man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he reportedly attacked his stepfather and stabbed him repeatedly with the handle of a toilet plunger.

When they outlaw toilet plungers, only outlaws will have toilet plungers.

KANSAS CITY, KAN. - A 52-year-old man filling up his mother’s car with gas wrested a handgun from a carjacker Saturday.

Two men confronted the victim about 12:40 p.m. in the 5500 block of Leavenworth Road and asked for change; then one pulled a gun, wanting the car, too. The victim grabbed the gun and fired at the car as the assailants sped away, hitting it once. Police found the car minutes later.

A 52-year old took a gun from carjackers. And shot at them with it as they sped away. Sweet.
