70-year-old Detroit High School Basketball Coach uses permitted concealed handgun to stop robbery



In high crime Detroit, it is good that this older man was able to protect himself.  From WXYZ-TV:
Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources. 
The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police. 
One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We've learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled. 
Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities. 
Crime scene tape could be seen on Lafayette Boulevard and also around the back parking lot of the school near the gym. . . .
