Man wrangles handgun from would-be robber

When a New Castle area man found himself being held up at gunpoint early today, he managed to wrestle the weapon away from the would-be robber, a woman, police said.

The bandit, who was unsuccessful in the robbery attempt, then ran off before New Castle County officers arrived.

The incident occurred about 12:30 a.m. at the Georgetown Village Apartments, county police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said.

Officers were called to Building R in response to the robbery report and spoke with the 51-year-old victim, who still had the woman's gun.

He told the officers that he was about to enter his apartment building when he heard someone run up behind him.

would have helped her be more stealthy. No doubt she is back home in her basement, loading her black rifle and preparing for her next assault.

No way she'll chance loosing another cheap hand gun when a two thousand dollar rifle will ensure success next time.
