One of the three robbers who burst into Kent Jewelry & Loan ordered Buell to his knees and then jammed a handgun against the back of Buell's head, hard enough to leave a knot.
But the single gunshot that startled Frank Buell was from a pistol fired by his father, Nick Buell, who was taking aim at another robber.
Only an "authorized journalist" would equate defending your life and the lives of those you love with taking the law into your own hands.
I'm surprised the senior Buell wasn't described as a "vigilante."
Of course, had he been defenseless and killed with his son, there'd be no shortage of "news" stories claiming they were killed by a gun, and no shortage of opportunists screaming for more citizen disarmament edicts.
