The above link is a news video interviewing the Korean War vet who shot a burglar in the neck with a 9MM German Luger.

If only the shot had been an inch or 2 to the side, this BG would not be burgling anyone else.

Interesting comment from the GG: "You can't hit anything with a .45, but the Luger is a well-balanced gun."

(the comment about the .45 was made after shock had set in and should not be held against him)

It sounds like Fred Ricciutti may have a 9mm Luger from WWII that he brought with him to Korea. As SIA stated "If only the shot had been an inch or 2 to the side, this BG would not be burgling anyone else."

Another example of bringing a screwdriver to a gunfight.
