LA: Cab driver shoots would-be robber: "A Shreveport teenager remains hospitalized after police say he was shot several times by a Casino Cab driver Saturday night. 'With one of them not having a mask on at all, having his face completely exposed, I felt as they were going to get my money and kill me,' said the cab driver who asked not to be identified. Detectives say the cab driver was called to the 3500 block of Ninock Street to pick up a fare. They say Arthur Joseph, 20, got into the back driver-side seat. Seconds later, another man wearing a mask over his face got into the back passanger-side seat, pointed a gun at the driver and demanded money. The driver pulled out his handgun and opened fire. 'I came up with my 9mm and started shooting. I shot him five times,' he said."
