The Associated Press
PAGEDALE, Mo. --Authorities say that one man who planned to rob a pizza deliveryman is dead after being gunned down in apparent self-defense, and a second would-be robber faces charges that include murder.
The shooting happened Thursday night in the St. Louis suburb Pagedale. Police say Rodney Reese and Brian Smith called in a pizza order. When the deliveryman brought the pizza, Reese and Smith allegedly robbed him at gunpoint.
Fearing for his safety, the pizza man fired his own gun. Smith was struck and died at the scene. Reese ran away with the pizzas and soda, along with the victim's wallet.
On Saturday, prosecutors charged Reese with second-degree murder, robbery and armed criminal action. He is being held on $250,000 bond.
