Police: Three-time WBC champion Vernon Forrest killed in Atlanta shooting - ESPN

Recent WBC junior middleweight champion and 1992 U.S. Olympian Vernon Forrest was shot and killed Saturday night during an attempted carjacking, WSB Radio in Atlanta has reported, citing a police spokesman.

Forrest, whose title was vacated in May amid an indefinite rib injury, was shot seven or eight times as he chased at least two men who had tried to steal his Jaguar as he put air in his tires at an Atlanta gas station, Lt. Keith Meadows said, according to the radio station.
But Forrest had a gun and confronted the men, police said.
 
I hope the only reason he was chasing them was because there was a child in the car. After all, it's just a car.
