A man and his girlfriend were standing in front of their residence one night waiting to meet with a man from whom they arranged to purchase a camera he had advertised online. While waiting, an armed man approached them, demanded money, assaulted the male and threatened to kill them both. In response, the man pulled out a handgun and shot his attacker, killing him. Police later said they believed that the criminal was most likely the same man who had listed the camera for sale. The resident was not charged. (Star-Telegram, Garland, TX, 9/10/18)

October 1980
Two young men entered 95-year-old Maude Riffe’s North Denver, Colo., home shortly after midnight, and one of them pressed a gun to her head and demanded money. When she could offer only her Social Security check, the pair left empty-handed, only to return minutes later. This time, however, the homeowner greeted them at a window with her double-barrel shotgun. They fled and didn’t return. (The Rocky Mountain News, Denver, CO)
