Description of Good Guy(s): | Doug Romeo, a legal concealed handgun license holder, who was carrying that day while escorting his girlfriend, Tiffany Simo, on her newspaper route. He warned Dickey to back off and leave multiple times before quickly pulling out his own handgun and shooting at Dickey three times, hitting him all three times. | ||||
Type of Gun Used: | Handgun | ||||
Outcome: | Dickey ran to his own car and quickly drove off, calling for an ambulance from his home. He was treated, will survive, and will go directly to jail after his discharge from the hospital. No one else was injured by the gunfire. Romeo has not been charged with any crime | ||||

Here's the funny part: Dickey's brother, Robert, tried to cover up his brother's actions by saying that the two of them had been fighting and his brother was "really drunk and confused," one, as if that is a good excuse for firing your gun in public and running up to a car and pointing it at people; and two, ignoring the fact that even while drunk and confused, he jumped into his car and drove away. Yeah, because that sounds better than attempted vehicular theft, assault, and murder. Well, yeah, I guess it does.
