Carjacker Killed By Victim

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

CORAL SPRINGS, Florida....

21-year-old Carl Lee Reese's luck went from bad to worse when

he carjacked a Lexus belonging to Paul Brite, 53. Brite was

confronted by the gunman at a carwash and forced to climb into

his own trunk. Reese drove off, but pulled to the side of the

road a short while later fearing Brite had a cellular phone

with him. When he opened the trunk the victim came out

brandishing two handguns that he had stored there earlier.

The kidnapper refused to comply with several commands to lie

on the ground, even after a warning shot. Brite was finally

forced to shoot his attacker in the abdomen when Reese reached

for his pocket. Police said they do not plan to charge Brite.

Doesn't say that the idiot died ... but you have to admire the stupidity of defying someone with TWO guns, especially after a demonstration that they are in perfect working (and loaded) order!

Stupid criminal tricks. I'm not impressed, but willing to let the readers decide.

It sounds like the carjacker is still alive, so not a full Darwin (yet!).

Lock a guy in his own trunk... he comes out with guns, and you don't listen when he tells you to lie down? Hmm...
