Retired Firefighter Fends Off Would-Be Robber

A retired Fire Department Captain, aged 77, was in his garage in the city of Chicago when a criminal approached him looking to rob who he thought was just some old man. Unfortunately for the would-be thief this was not just some old man, this 77-year-old was packing. 

The criminal blocked the man’s car in his driveway, brandished a firearm, and demanded that he hand over his money and other valuables. Before the criminal even finished listing his demands the retired Fire Captain drew his firearm and fired at him. The criminal died at the scene as a result of his injuries and the retiree was unharmed in the shootout.
