A would-be robber should have thought twice before attempting to rob two LSU student-athletes. After meeting the two students, who were attempting to sell an electronic item, the thief displayed a firearm and demanded they turn over their belongings. One of the LSU students responded in kind, drawing a handgun and fatally shooting their assailant. (WAFB 9, Baton Rouge, La., 12/23/2018)
