Police were questioning a Grand Prairie man on Tuesday who said he fatally shot two men who were trying to rob him. The man reported that the suspects took him against his will from his home to an ATM, police said. There, the man said, he was forced to withdraw cash.
According to Grand Prairie Police Detective John Brimmer, the man believed his life was in danger because he said one of the suspects had a baseball bat. Brimmer said the man reported pulling a small pistol and shooting the suspects as they sat in a car.
Police said the man, who was not injured, had a concealed-weapons permit.
Brimmer said the two suspects had not been identified, but one was wearing a ski mask. Their bodies were being taken to the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office for autopsy.
