A 73-year-old resident of the High Sierras thought it would be safe to spend the night in his pickup while en route to a friend's home in Los Angeles. After pulling off the street in the city's Wilshire district and going to sleep in the truck bed, he was jumped by a pair of robbers. Despite being beaten, kicked and choked, the old man managed to pull a pistol and fire several times, killing one attacker and wounding the other. No charges were filed against the traveler.
