    Another athlete shot and killed, this time its Vernon Forrest

    For those that dont know Forrest is a boxer and the former WBC champ, he was putting air in the tires of his car at an Atlanta gas station when two guys approached him and tried to car jack him. He had his girlfriends son in the car with him so he fought back and pulled out a gun. Some sort of foot chase ensued and the two men opened fire with semi-automatic handguns shooting him 8 times.

    I just don't understand the mindset of people who think it's ok to try to take something that isn't theirs. I hope he was able to put a slug in at least one of them.

      Jim Rome will say it's because he had a large gambling debt.

        It sounds like he put a bullet in the head of one of his attackers.

          Then I guess it's lucky for him that he had a gun. Makes me want to run out and get myself a concealed weapons permit.
