An attempted armed robbery turned deadly Thursday when the would-be victim pulled a gun and fired, killing one of the robbers and injuring another, police said.
Billy Dean Dickerson, 19, of St. Louis died Thursday morning when he and Perry A. Richardson, 23, tried to rob a 70-year-old man who was dropping off a friend at her house in the 200 block of Abbott Street in Venice, police said. The man is a Vietnam War veteran from St. Louis.

I love a happy ending
Sometimes, you just might have to pay the price for risky behavior.
I would like to offer my thanks to this veteran for his service to country — both in Vietnam and in St. Louis.
