Wow!
The five suspects pulled up in a car and confronted the victim in the 500 block of Penn Street just before midnight.
The victim began running down the street yelling for help. Residents who heard him called 911. While he was running, the victim pulled a pocket knife from his backpack.
Two of the robbers jumped from the car. When one of the robbers pointed a shotgun at him, the victim kicked it out of his hands.
At that point two of the robbers jumped on the victim. During the struggle he stabbed both of them. One, a female, died of her wounds. A second is in critical condition.
Don’t ever jump a Marine, apparently. Note to the press: Is the Rambo reference really necessary?

Yeah, and the press once again doesn’t give us enough information about that knife. We WOULD really like to know.
As for Autry being remorseful, he need not be.

Methinks this is was not the first time Mr. Autry had been faced with violence:

Wasn’t John Rambo a Army SF guy anyway? Not, you know, a Marine at all?
Silly media. Never watched the movie, or never realised there’s a difference.
