How it is here:
A few years ago a guy escaped from jail and went on the rampage near here. He invaded an elderly couple’s home, killed them, stole their car and drove across the state line where he invaded another elderly couple’s home. The fugitive forced the couple into their car and instructed the retired doctor to drive to a spot where he could steal another car. Unbeknownst to the fugitive, the doctor had secreted an old dilapidated pistol. When they got out of the car the doctor shot the fugitive two or three times. There he died. The doctor stated that he wasn’t sure the pistol would still function. Our County DA presented the doctor with a new pistol.
