Thursday, November 29, 2007 Man Walks Into Robbery In Progress
Willie Lee Hill says he returned home and "butted into" a robbery in
progress. Police say the suspect struck Hill several times with an
unopened soda can, rendering him unconscious. He awoke minutes later.
Bleeding profusely and half-blind without his glasses, he managed to
reach a pistol in his bedroom as the robber returned. "He lunged toward
me," Hill said. "There was only the bed between us, and i shot him and
he fell face first on the bed. He didn't move." Hill says the gun saved
his life. "I can handle a pistol," he said. "I know that he was going to
kill me if I hadn't got him first." When police arrived, the suspect
told them, "I can't feel my legs and I got what I deserved." El Dorado
