Pharmacist Martin Francom of Bremerton, Wash., was confronted
by an armed man demanding narcotics. Seeing "a moment of opportunity when he looked away," Francom grabbed a baseball bat from behind the counter and whacked the intruder in the head. "I refused to be a victim," Francom says. The man started shooting and Francom dropped the bat, so his daughter, Candice, 25, took up the cause. "I wanted to protect my Dad. I just picked up the bat and started hitting the guy over and over and over, probably 30 times," she said. "I thought about hitting him in the head, but if I caused some brain damage and he died, I didn't want that on me. I didn't want to be charged with anything."
(Seattle Times) ...She was, however, charged with an error: the guy obviously already had brain damage.
