Man Says He Shot 2 Men Dead Who Were Trying to Rob Him
Grand Prairie (AP) -- Police are questioning a suburban Dallas man who says he shot two men dead who were trying to rob him Tuesday.
Police in Grand Prairie say the man -- who is in his 60s -- reported the two men took him against his will from his home to an ATM. There, the man says he was forced to withdraw cash.
According to police Detective John Brimmer, the man says one of the men had a baseball bat and he believed his life was in danger.
But police say the alleged victim had a small pistol with him. Brimmer says the man reported pulling the gun and shooting both men as they sat in a car.
Police say the man -- who was not injured -- has a concealed-weapons permit.
Brimmer says the two dead men haven't been identified -- but one was wearing a ski mask. Their bodies will be taken to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office for autopsy.

Another reason to always carry protection, even if there's a shotgun in the closet, and you only have a "small pistol" to carry.
