Just like in the movies.

A story in the news today from St. Louis County: A man who broke into a St. Louis County home and held a woman hostage has been shot and killed by the woman's husband. The husband and wife are both 73. Police say the burglar was holding four-inch scissors to the woman's throat. The husband told the man he had to get his wallet from the bedroom...but came back with a gun...and when his wife pulled away, he shot the burglar. Police believe the burglar was responsible for other home invasions and burglaries in the area.
