So...the encounter starts out with the 72 year old getting beaten and a gun pointed at him.....so, like any well armed American, he pulls out his own gun and shoots the asshole in the chest, and the other asshole runs away.......
72-year-old who fatally shot robber: ‘I’m a good shooter’
After Johnson drove Holt to the apartment, she got out of the vehicle and walked around to the side of the building. Moments later, two men, one of whom was armed with a gun, approached Johnson’s vehicle and demanded money as they hit him multiple times.
“They didn’t know who they were messing with,” Johnson later told reporters. “They messed with the wrong person that day.”
Unbeknown to the suspects, Johnson was packing a pistol.
“I was getting the gun out at the same time while he was asking for the money, when he was asking for the money, talking – POW! I shot that bastard,” Johnson said.
Johnson fired a single shot, striking Randall Caradine, 46, in the chest. Caradine was transported to a hospital and died a short time later, while the second suspect made off with $1,000 in cash and remains at large.
Following the robbery and subsequent shooting, authorities interviewed Holt, who admitted the robbery was previously planned in order to pay off a $30 drug debt owed to Caradine and the second suspect.
