MO: Iraq Vet uses Handgun to stop Shotgun Attack

Newt Wilson says he's an Iraq War veteran who's lived in the neighborhood for about a year and a half. Wilson says he was in his house when he heard the first shot coming from the street right in front of his home.

"Was that a shotgun?" Wilson recalls, "and I come out, and I see two guys over here wrestling."

Wilson says when he came outside, he had his handgun with him.

"[The gun was] pointed, pumped, at me... and that's when I shot three shots. Bam, bam, bam," says Wilson.

Wilson says it was a split second decision.

"I surprised him," says Wilson, "He dropped the gun, and they fled."
