This doesn’t quite fit as one of our feel good stories, but it does have a happy ending for everyone. A Reading, PA man was at the local laundromat when 18-year-old Pablo D. Martinez Jr. entered with a sawed-off bolt action rifle;<\/p>\n
The man handed over his wallet, which contained $60, and a cellphone, but Martinez came closer and ordered him to the ground. The man tried to knock the gun away but was shot in the side of the head as Martinez struggled with him.<\/p>\n
The fight continued for several minutes before Martinez retreated. The man then drove to Reading Hospital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So Martinez got his life turned around for him;<\/p>\n
Martinez, 18, was charged with attempted homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, simple assault, theft and weapons-related charges. Police said they couldn’t find an address for Martinez.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
