Is This Indiana House the ‘Portal to Hell'?
In 2014, Inside Edition was given unprecedented access to a home considered by locals in Gary, Indiana, as the “Portal to Hell.” The home was purchased by “Ghost Adventures” host Zak Bagans after the family living there reported strange voices in the basement, an apparition in the front window and strange occurrences compared to scenes from the “Exorcist” or “Poltergeist” films.

When the captain takes the position that; 'I can't help you' then what other alternatives that God fearing, law abiding, tax paying, home owner, have to do to protect his property his life and the safety of his family, as they go and come in and out from school and work. And the only alternative is to develop some kind of mechanism whereby you are trained and educated in terms of how you should protect yourself. The second amendment to the constitution gives us the right to bear arms, the laws in the state of Missouri give you the right to conceal and carry.

I don't think adding guns to a community is a safety issue. I think when you add guns to the community and the criminals have those guns then that is a problem, but there are many, many communities all over the country that have a hundred times more guns than North Saint Louis.

I feel unsafe when you hear all this is going on around you, but now the purpose of having a gun in the house you feel a whole lot safer if you got a pistol in your house because you can't go out there and throw cotton balls at somebody else when they got a pistol. So really, like Alderman Troupe is saying, we should be prepared in our house.

STORYLINE:
A St. Louis city leader frustrated with the police response to rising crime on Tuesday called on residents to arm themselves to protect their lives and property.
Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe said police are ineffective, outnumbered or don't care about the increase in crime in his north St. Louis ward.
St. Louis has had 157 homicides in 2008, 33 more than last year at this time.
Troupe said he believes residents should be trained and educated on how to use weapons to protect themselves.
He added that other communities in the US have a lot more guns than North St. Louis.
Troupe's call to arms comes after he and fellow residents approached police last year they and were told police didn't have the manpower to provide the protection the community required.
Police did not immediately return requests for comment, however, in a department blog Chief Dan Isom wrote that citizens arming themselves will lead to more danger, not less, he said.
Streets in Troupe's ward are lined with boarded up houses and attract shelter for criminal activity such as prostitution and drugs.
In one of the latest violent crimes in St. Louis, a man was shot dead on Monday and an unarmed potential suspect in the killing was shot by police.
The 45-year-old suspect had put his hand inside his coat and two officers, fearing for their safety, shot him.

Shocking video shows brazen shooting in broad daylight in Fairfield
Warning: graphic content:
A 28-year-old man gunned down at a Fairfield gas station in March was apparently killed in a dispute over an engagement ring, and the brutal shooting was captured on store surveillance video.
Adarius Elon Williams, a father of four who celebrated a birthday the day before he was killed, died April 8 in the parking lot of the Citgo station on Milstead Road. Vincent Washington, 25, and Barbara Washington, 31, are charged with murder in Williams’ death. Additionally, Vincent Washington is charged with first-degree kidnapping because the woman who drove him to the gas station said she wanted to leave, and he threatened her with her life.
The Washington siblings, who lost their own sister to murder last year, are set to be in court this afternoon for their preliminary hearings. AL.com has obtained the store surveillance video of the killing, which shows a man with a towel wrapped around his head – identified by police as Vincent Washington – shoot Williams multiple times, nine of those shots fired almost point-blank after while Williams had already collapsed on the ground. Police have said Williams was not armed. According to police and court records, the brother and sister told a friend of Barbara Washington they would buy her gas if she drove them to the Citgo station that day. They were going to meet Williams because he wanted the engagement ring back that he had given to Barbara Washington. Williams’ fiancé at the time of his death was also with him at the gas station the day he was killed.
The friend drove them to the service station, but told police she didn’t know what was going to happen. Once they arrived there, Vincent Washington got out of the car with a towel wrapped around his head. When the friend realized something was amiss, she said she wanted to leave. At that point, according to court records, Vincent Washington told her, “(Expletive), if you drive off I’ll shoot you in the back of the head.”
The friend said she was afraid, and did what she was told to do. The video shows Washington and Williams arguing outside of the vehicle for about 12 seconds, and then Washington opens fire on Williams. Williams fell to the ground on his back, and Washington stood over him and fired nine more shots.
Witnesses on the scene gave a description of a white Nissan Altima leaving the area. They said the vehicle was occupied by two females and a male. A short time later, Bessemer police said, a man suffering from gunshot wounds to the stomach and the hand showed up at UAB West, and a white vehicle reportedly had brought him there.
Authorities confirmed that man – later identified as Vincent Washington - at the hospital was involved in the Fairfield shooting. About 8 p.m., Fairfield police spotted the white Altima and stopped the vehicle. Barbara Washington and another woman were taken into custody. The second woman wasn’t charged.
After the shooting, according to court records, Barbara Washington took the gun used in the slaying to a friend’s house to hide it.
At some point during the incident, Vincent Washington was also shot by someone trying to help Williams. Police have never said who shot the suspect. He spent several days in the hospital before he was released and booked into the Jefferson County Jail. Both of the siblings have remained jailed since then with bond set at $60,000.
Bill Veitch, the district attorney in Jefferson County’s Bessemer Cutoff, confirmed he has seen the video and said it shows the urgency needed in stopping the violence. “Any of us could have been out there at those gas pumps that day,’’ Veitch said. “This war on violence cannot be won unless the communities unite, tear down the walls that have built between us and see, hear and report.”
“It’s going to take a great deal of individual courage to become involved in this struggle,’’ he said. “Join with me and our law enforcement officers, our churches, our judges, to fight these heartless hoodlums. This video is graphic evidence of how great this epidemic has become.”
