(AP) CAMBRIDGE, Ohio A motorist wrestled a gun from a suspected carjacker and fired three shots, killing the man who had sneaked into the back seat of the car while it was parked at a gas pump, authorities said.

The shooting appeared to be self-defense because driver Brian Starr was shot in the thigh by the suspect before he took the gun away, McCauley said.

Toubell was shot in the head, neck and chest, Coroner Janet Brockwell said.

A steel rod was placed in Starr's thigh because the bullet broke his leg bone in half


Wow! Busted femur and still wrestled the gun away then plugged the bad guy. Nice work!

A steel rod was placed in Starr's thigh because the bullet broke his leg bone in half, he told The Columbus Dispatch from Grant Medical Center in Columbus.

Ouch!

Very happy to hear the driver's OK (albeit sore as hell.)

This could have turned out much worse. I would count my blessings and whisper a heartfelt thanks to God if I were him.

Taking the bad guy's gun away is more than I could hope for myself. That's why I always make sure I have my own. I do hope that by the time the cops arrived the gun in question was completely emptied - into the perp.

The driver better get a good lawyer. Not only will a relative of the dead gunman sue him for murdering him but Ted (BLUP) Kennedy and John (I served in Vietnam) Kerry will probably get him arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, reckless use of a firearm, firing of a firearm in the city limits, conspiracy to commit murder and first degree murder with the intent of to protect yourself. As every good Freeper knows, it's illegal to protect yourself from a criminal.

That's why I keep my back seat full of empty food sacks and such. Kudos to the driver.

The taxpayers would like to extend a hearty thanks to the gentleman with the good aim.
