You may remember this post from a few weeks ago where a store owner shot a man who held his wife at gunpoint and threatened her. Turns out the guy the store proprieter shot was a serial rapist:

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) A man who was killed while attempting to rob a store last week was responsible for three recent rapes that had spread fear among students and workers in the city’s relatively safe downtown area, authorities said Wednesday.Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi said the state police DNA lab confirmed that Antonio Diaz Reyes, 32, was the rapist.“The DNA results were a perfect match,” Sarubbi said at a news conference.

...The owner, Ngoc Le, 28, saw what was happening, grabbed his gun, which was legally registered, and told Reyes he would let him live if he released his wife, atuhorities said. Reyes would not let the 26-year-old woman go and threatened to kill her.From about four feet away, Le fired the handgun once, hitting Reyes in the head. Reyes died at the scene.re a perfect match,” Sarubbi said at a news conference.

...Le, who has an address in Philadelphia, will not be charged with any crimes, Sarubbi said.

Emphasis mine. "Realatively safe" in Camden means only 8 murders occurred there this year.
Mr. Le should receive a medal for what he did. The man is trying to earn a living and a scumbag tries to rob him and attack his wife. He pops the guy in the head and that, as they say, is that. He stopped a rapist.
