Posing as a customer, a man who entered Kenneth Tong's Boston, Mass., coin shop suddenly drew a pistol and tried to make off with three gold coins estimated to be worth $10,000. As the armed robber fired twice at the storekeeper, Tong returned fire with his own licensed revolver, wounding his assailant in the exchange of gunfire. The coins were recovered from the suspect's pockets. (The Herald; Boston, Mass.)
