DETROIT (WJBK) -
There was a deadly shooting Friday outside of Martin Luther King, Junior High School on Detroit's east side.
Police sources say two armed males tried to rob a coach leaving the school. The coach, who has a concealed pistol license, fired shots killing one of the individuals and critically wounding the other.
Sources also tell us the two males previously attended the school. One was expelled.

Fox 2 has learned the 70 year old coach for the girl's
basketball team was walking two students to their cars at the time of the attempted robbery. When one pulled a gun, the coach fired back, shooting both teens.
The
shooting at the high school was not the only incident involving an
older person protecting themselves with a firearm Friday in Detroit.
Sources tell us, on the 15-thousand block of Grand River, east of
Greenfield, a man attempted to rob an older man when he pulled out his
weapon and fired. The suspect was shot. The man in this case was also
licensed to carry a gun.
A 2002 survey shows gun ownership among
people age 65 and older is on the rise. Firearms instructor Rick Ector
has seen an increase of older people taking control of their
personal safety, buying guns, and being trained on how to use them.
