Carjacker Killed By Victim
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
CORAL SPRINGS, Florida....
21-year-old Carl Lee Reese's luck went from bad to worse when
he carjacked a Lexus belonging to Paul Brite, 53. Brite was
confronted by the gunman at a carwash and forced to climb into
his own trunk. Reese drove off, but pulled to the side of the
road a short while later fearing Brite had a cellular phone
with him. When he opened the trunk the victim came out
brandishing two handguns that he had stored there earlier.
The kidnapper refused to comply with several commands to lie
on the ground, even after a warning shot. Brite was finally
forced to shoot his attacker in the abdomen when Reese reached
for his pocket. Police said they do not plan to charge Brite. Submitted on 11/17/2002
