According to Tom Gresham, the Doctor had been loading guns into his truck to go shooting just before being accosted. He was a USPSA enthusiast.
After taking him to an ATM where he was forced to withdraw money, one of them mentioned going back to his house and mentioned some "evil intentions toward his wife." As the doctor was getting out of the vehcile he was abls to grab an unnoticed handgun from the driver's door of the truck and shot Eugene Robinson. Kennedy escaped but was later identified and captured.
You can listen to Tom tell the story at the 34:00 minute mark.

What a wonderful story.
Too bad he didn’t shoot the other SOB as well.
Obama: “If I had a son...”
A bridge too far. The victim was willing to give everything the thugs wanted until they threatened his family. It is too bad he didn’t stop the other one right then, too.
It was Edwin Robinson.
Eugene Robinson is a columnist for the Washington Post.
Oh happy day!
Love these “feel good” stories.
It is not a good idea to threaten the family of a practiced handgun competitor.
It is possible that only one of them was armed; it could explain why he did not shoot the other perp.
