Re: Towing cars is deadly
The Dallas Morning News reported that the wrecker driver had a CHL. As he observed the suspect pull a gun, he drew his but the suspect shot the driver's assistant before the driver could get off a shot. After his assistant was hit the driver returned fire kiling the suspect.
