They tried to steal his truck, but the man also had a gun. He shot and killed one of the men. The other suspect escaped into some nearby woods. Chief Bill Waites say they hope to have a suspect identified soon.

I think you mean one! One won't be doing much of anything anymore.

Props that this guy giving himself a fighting chance by arming himself. Also big props for being able to draw down and land hits on a bad guy that sounds like already had the jump on him.

+1 KimberPB. Yes, good he hit the one and took him out - also good that it sounds like no harm to him.

Glad to hear they think they know who the other suspect is. Not sure about the laws up there but in some places the second suspect could be charged with murder. Now we'll see how long it takes for Marquis Strange's family to come out about what a good boy he was.
