llinois State Police investigators determined that Dickerson and Richardson attempted an armed robbery of two people sitting in a vehicle in front of a home. One of the victims, a 70-year-old Vietnam Veteran from St. Louis, fired on the would-be robbers, striking both. Dickerson was struck in the head. Richardson was struck in the arm and chest.
Richardson was transported to a St. Louis Hospital for treatment. Once he is released, he will be taken to the Madison County Jail where he will be held without bond.
The 70-year-old victim is authorized to possess a concealed firearm in Missouri
“The Courts have consistently recognized the right of a law-abiding citizen to carry a concealed weapon for the purpose of self-defense. This incident yesterday morning is the exact situation where the necessity for this right becomes crystal clear,” said State’s Attorney Tom Gibbons said in a statement.
