Australian art gallery owner Kevin Reid has been praised as a hero by his wife after he moved her out of danger moments before masked robbers fatally shot him dead on a US street.

Kari Graham-Reid told how she was on an after-dinner stroll with her “wonderful” husband near their home in Savannah, Georgia, on Wednesday night when three men suddenly appeared from the shadows...

Local police described one of the suspects as a black male wearing a light coloured bandanna over his face. The other two suspects were described as black males.

“There hasn’t been an arrest in the case yet,” said Darnisha Green of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan police department.

She said she was visiting a seedy side of the city, not that she lived there. Even if she lived there because that was all they could afford, that is no reason for personal attacks. If you can’t abide by the rules here, you are always free to leave.

“Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.”

I call it her business. And I think that you, judging by your reaction, are jealous of her.

Good reply

So was that a reason to be rude to the lady?

Reid was Savannah homicide number 42 this year in a city
of @ 150,000. That rate would give Chicago two hundred more than they have now.
