The suspects eventually caught up with Autry. But Autry, who managed to pull a knife out of his backpack, kicked the shotgun out of one of the attacker's hands. He then stabbed a teenage girl who jumped on him and a man who attacked him.
The suspects ran back to their car and drove off.
Police found them later at a hospital, where the teenage girl, who was pregnant, was pronounced dead. Another man was in critical condition, Stephens said.
At least a locking blade.

He only took out his pocket knife sign his name.
A Marine? Atrocity! Massacre!!
(good work young man!)
Sounds like are boys did not have enough armament, and there weren't enough of him.
Purely a quagmire, if you ask me.
It's not a place I will be unless I'm carrying my pocket protector. I drive through downtown at night occasionally when I need to, but the doors are locked and there is always a shiny stainless steel protective device on the seat beside me.
I love this story of the Marine kicking tail on 5 attackers. It reminds me of an incident that occurred when I was living in the Tampa Bay area. An airman from McDill AFB was driving home from the base late at night and when he stopped at a light 2 or 3 young punks, don't remember for sure, jerked his car door open and attacked him with knives and iron pipes. The funny part is that he happened to be one of the McDill airmen who had gone through extensive personal combat training to qualify for some special force type assignment. He almost killed the attackers with his bare hands and all of them were hospitalized in serious condition.
The sad and utterly outrageous part of the story is that the Tampa paper reported that a prosecutor was actually considering charging him with something because he was specially trained in personal combat and had used excessive force in defending himself against his teenage assailants, who btw were all fully grown young men. I don't think anything ever came of that, but just the idea that it was even considered by a government official is enough to disgust a person with our prosecutorial system. (Is prosecutorial a word? If not it should be)
I love this. Five people armed with guns against one Marine armed with a pocket knife...no contest!
POINT OF CLARIFICATION:
THERE ARE NO "EX-MARINES."

"All enemies, foreign and domestic!""
Murtha is the reason for that.

The Marine is being held without bond for a hate crime.
This was Atlanta, after all.
Thanks for the post and for making my morning brighter!
Really, reading it i envisioned a 6 or 7 year old girl.
susie
Uhhh,no you didn't officer,it was the Marine that caught up with them!
I think there is at least one and he's in congress!
OOoohhhRRaaahhh!! :-)
Now if the ex-Marine was allow to have a CCW permit, the fight would be over even faster and a higher KIA for the unfriendlies.
