A robber packing a pellet gun lost out early today to a motel guest packing a real firearm.
Bridgeton police say that after surrendering his cash, jewelry and car keys to two robbers in the parking lot of the motel, the guest drew his own firearm and got the drop on the robbers, wounding one of them in the hand and leg.
It all happened about 3 a.m. at the Motel 6 at 3655 Pennridge Drive, said Bridgeton police Lt. James Woodland.
"The man being robbed had a concealed-carry permit," Woodland said.
After the shooting, the would-be robbers fled. "We caught the wounded one about a quarter-mile down the road, outside a bar that was closed," Woodland said.
Woodland said the suspect had been taken to a hospital for treatment of his wounds. The second robber remains at large, he said.
Update: The goodguy was a yong man in the military that was on his way to Fort Leonard Wood. No charges will be filed against the young man and the police will be returning his 45 cal. handgun.

According to the reporter on the news,it sounded like he was going to let them get away.He said the guy did not pull out his gun until the bad guy turned around as he was leaving and pointed his pellet gun at the soldier. He said the soldier fired 6 rounds at the suspect.0 -

For all you great experts a .45 is not a .22..
They tend to kick and buck, plus if you have never shot at a living person your in for a shock at what your mind will do to you the first time and some times even the second time. Killing a person is not as eazy as you guys make it out to be.0
