Chief Tango sends us a link to the story of a shop owner in Alabama who was forced to shoot a man who held a shot gun to the owner’s head while the thief attempted to rob him;<\/p>\n
“He had a shot gun and held it to my head. I saw my life passing by and I thought I wasn’t going to see my kids anymore. That’s why I got really angry. That’s why I went after him,” he said.<\/p>\n
But he didn’t just go after the suspected robber, the owner grabbed his own gun and fired a shot.<\/p>\n
“He then followed the suspect out of the store and as that suspect got into a white charger he fired a couple more shots at the white charger,” said Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran.<\/p>\n
“That’s the second time I’ve shot a gun ever in my life and I couldn’t believe that I hit him,” said the owner. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Several minutes later, the cops found 34-year-old Charles Steele with a center-mass bullet wound and hauled him off to the hospital to get him well enough to survive jail on a 1st degree robbery charge. Steele’s excuse was that he was laid off from work a few weeks before, so, I guess he felt he deserved that which someone else had earned.<\/p>\n
