I caught this story on the news this morning (WVEC...ABC affiliate).
A newspaper carrier fired his gun to protect himself from two teenage robbers, he told 13News. 59-year-old "Charlie" said it's the second time in the last few months he's been targeted while on his route.
... "Charlie" said it bothers him he had to resort to violence. "It's really hurting me to know that I injured somebody. I have to bear the fact that these guys were out there to hurt or injure me," he said.
Good on him.
The local paper had a blurb too, but the TV news report was more detailed.
The FOX affiliate (WVBT) had a sketchy report.
That's wierd...WAVY (NBC) had the exact same sketchy story as FOX. Update: I just figured it out. WAVY and WVBT are owned by the same company. I didn't realize that before. I guess there's no point in checking both for news stories as they will be the same. Good info for the future.
WTKR (CBS) had even fewer details and were calling the bad guy who had his attitude aligned an "adult" whereas all the others were calling him a "teen".
I'll update if any interesting new details come out.

Funny how 18-19 year olds are called "teens" or "adults" at the whim of the reporter.
