I strongly advice you to read these two stories.
They're about the same incident - a former US marine being attacked by four robbers armed with a shotgun and a gun.
It shows how this brave man sees himself and carries himself with sorrow and dignity in light of the tragic outcome (one of the assailants were killed).
It also shows how he did everything "by the book" as far as self-defense goes: Trying to run, yelling "fire", seeking a lighted area, choosing the place for the stand-off, fighting multiple attackers, using hands and feet to create distance, seizing opportunities, etc.
And it also points to the potential danger of even a small blade like a pocket knife.
Story:
A 36-year-old former Marine cook used a pocketknife to fend off a group of would-be robbers, killing one and wounding another, police said.
Thomas Autry, who authorities said will not be charged, was walking home from his job waiting tables Monday night when four people got out of a car and chased him, Atlanta police detective Danny Stephens said. One attacker had a shotgun, and another had a pistol.
