Several residents of a Kokomo, Ind., apartment defended themselves when an alleged robber entered the residence on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022.

Around 3 a.m. that morning, the 18-year-old intruder entered the apartment wearing a ski mask and with gun in hand. As the man pointed his gun at the three male residents, they jumped the would-be robber and managed to both pin him down and knock away his gun. A physical altercation ensued between the residents and the intruder.

The intruder managed to pull out a second gun during the brawl and fired it but didn't strike anyone. One of the residents retrieved his own firearm during this time and held the offender at gunpoint. When authorities arrived on scene, they found the beaten robber being held by the armed resident. The intruder and the residents suffered several face injuries during the confrontation, and the would-be robber was arrested on a burglary charge. (foxnews.com, New York, N.Y., 10/29/2022)


From the Armed Citizen® Archives – Sept. 26, 1987

Retired transit officer John Taylor of East Flatbush, N.Y., was walking home when an armed robber demanded cash at gunpoint. After refusing to accept Taylor's pocket change, the mugger demanded his wallet, but the 45-year-old transit veteran instead drew his licensed revolver and fired, mortally wounding the hold-up man. According to the Brooklyn district attorney's office, the shooting was justified, and no charges will be filed against Taylor. (The Daily News, New York, N.Y.)
