Hmmm...That's odd.

It's almost like Missouri isn't a safe place to be a criminal.

"Holdup victim kills robber along Dunn Road

A man who was robbed at gunpoint in Hazelwood on Tuesday night fought back and shot the robber to death, police say.

The victim of the holdup pulled his own gun and fatally shot the robber at about 8:40 p.m. Tuesday on a street in Hazelwood."

Yet there was still someone getting full-on PSH over it.

"Richard Garger, 71, who lives on Eagles Way Court about a half-block from the shooting, said he heard eight shots.
'What are the odds of two guys with guns walking down the street?' he said. 'It’s like the Old West.'"

Well I'd say it was a damned good thing that the victim had a gun. It just means there's one less little punk running around trying to add his own tally to the crime rate.
