EVERYDAY HEROES: Would-be robber dead in St. Louis shootout after victim, 74, pulls own gun.

Update: Just saw this in the comments. “Retaliation gunfire hits home of elderly man who killed robber in North City.”

A neighbor who didn’t wanted to be identified because of fear for his safety, spoke to News 4.

“Two o’clock in the morning, roughly two something in the morning there was some gunfire in the house, whether it was retaliation or whatever it was,” said the neighbor.

Police gave this account of events at the home on Sunday, which may have sparked the drive-by gunfire.

Let’s hope the neighbors pass around the hat for this man.
