A St. Louis couple is likely
thankful to have guns in their home after they were forced to use them
to defend their daughter against two men Monday night.
The men, one of whom had an
extensive rap sheet, confronted the couples’ 17 year-old daughter after
she stepped outside of the house to go to her car, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell
Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as
they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also
present.
The girl’s father and mother
witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton
and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men.
The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.
Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.
In 2010, McClinton was charged
with shooting another man. Charges were eventually dropped due to lack
of witness participation. He also had drug possession and distribution
charges against him.
McClinton is charged with
second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, and criminal armed action
and is being held on $1 million bond.
