A visa program, designated as a “U” visa, is intended to grant temporary legal status and work authorization to illegal aliens who are victims of certain serious crimes and agree to cooperate with law enforcement.

An unidentified man died at the scene after allegedly trying to rob an off-duty officer’s property in Weatherford, Texas, and being shot dead by that officer. [More]
Sounds like a happy ending.
I didn’t give this an “Only Ones” title because I’m presuming in Texas an ordinary armed citizen could do the same.
The again, I’m assuming the level of investigation into what happened would be the same.

“Today our city is grieving the loss of a 15-year-old boy whose life was taken by gun violence,” Akron Police Chief Brian Harding said in a statement. [More]
With this dolt in charge of law enforcement, no wonder the city of my birth continues to devolve into $#!+holedom.

I wonder if you or I would.
