The man left the bank with an unknown amount of cash, and it was reported that he might have had a gun in his coat pocket. "Suspect's going to be a taller male with a beanie that's getting into a white pickup," a dispatcher says in scanner traffic Action News obtained from Broadcastify.

A few minutes later, a patrol officer spotted a truck matching the description near Santa Fe and Walnut, and pulled the suspect over a few blocks to the west, near Court and Laura. Other officers also arrived on scene for the felony traffic stop. A man was shot and killed by police officers during a traffic stop after being a suspect in a bank robbery in Visalia on Wednesday. "The suspect got out of the vehicle," Visalia Police Chief Jason Salazar said. "He turned and faced the officers at which time they observed that he had a black handgun in his possession. As the suspect began to move the handgun towards their direction, the officers fired several rounds at the suspect after giving him commands to drop the firearm." The man dropped to the ground after being hit, but Salazar says he still had the gun in his hand. Officers, including a hostage negotiator, told him to drop it and surrender, but they say he didn't respond to those commands. "At one point the suspect picked the gun up again, pulled it up towards the air, and additional shots were fired by the officers," Salazar said. But Salazar says the man still wouldn't let go of the gun, so officers had to open fire a third time. "At some point he again moved the firearm towards the officers at which time additional shots were fired," Salazar said. "After that the suspect was no longer responding." Officers detained the suspect and gave him CPR, but he died. Salazar doesn't believe the suspect ever fired his weapon, which was found at the scene. He says it was a tragic incident, but he's thankful no one else was hurt. "I will say it was excellent work on the part of the officers that were involved," he said. "A scary incident at the bank with an armed robbery that occurred there, but good work by the patrol officers who were able to identify the suspect vehicle, see him, get in and be able to make the stop."

Janice Dear Janice Just rinse it, dry it, and plug it back in. I would bet that it will work OK. Have Fun! DearWebby By the time the sailor pulled into a little town, every hotel room was taken. "You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded with a proprietor, "or just a bed, I don't care where." "Well, I do have a double room with one occupant -- an Air Force guy," admitted the manager, "and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you." "No problem," the tired Navy man assured him, "I'll take it." The next morning the sailor came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "How'd you sleep?" asked the manager. "Never better." The manager was impressed. "No problem with the other guy snoring?" "Nope, I shut him up in no time," said the Navy guy. "How'd you manage that?" asked the manager. "He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room," the sailor explained. "I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night watching me." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging between them a young man. "This young man agreed to marry my daughter," said one. "No! He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other. And so they haggled before the King, until he called for silence. "Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon, "and I shall hew the young man in half. Each of you shall receive a half." "Sounds good to me," said the first lady. But the other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him." The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The young man must marry the first woman's daughter," he proclaimed. "But she was willing to hew him in two!" exclaimed the second woman. "Indeed," said wise King Solomon. "That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law." ____________________________________________ "I have to tell the truth," a young man said to his new girlfriend.
