Thomas Baker was out jogging when he was punched in the face by an attacker. Baker shot his attacker dead.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110112/...fense_shootingBaker told police he reached for his gun when the teen punched him in the face. Baker has a concealed weapons permit.
The teen was hit four times in the chest, back and buttocks. He died at the scene.

Good to hear! This is a major victory for people who worry about whether it's "reasonable" to fire at an unarmed assailant.

Probably helped that the "teen" was an adult - 18 yo.

Happened in the "Town and Country" area. That used to be really nice, but it seems to be heading downward.
(English is the second language there now)
I understand it happened at 1:30 am and I thought I heard there were two assailants. Only one was shot.
Glad the good guy survived.

Don't think the attacker got the "Stand Your Groung'' Memo ?
