Well you know the old addage about bringing a knife to a gun fight? Just so you know, it wasn't meant to include Marines
The victim was walking home after getting off work as a waiter at Jocks and Jills.
The five suspects pulled up in a car and confronted the victim in the 500 block of Penn Street just before midnight.
The victim began running down the street yelling for help. Residents who heard him called 911. While he was running, the victim pulled a pocket knife from his backpack.
Two of the robbers jumped from the car. When one of the robbers pointed a shotgun at him, the victim kicked it out of his hands.
At that point two of the robbers jumped on the victim. During the struggle he stabbed both of them. One, a female, died of her wounds. A second is in critical condition.
Police arrived on the scene and with a description of the car; they quickly arrested the three other suspects.
The victim, who is a former U.S. Marine, will not be charged since police say he was acting in self defense.
