Car-jacker with a gun, gets shot

A man who demanded a ride at gunpoint was shot and killed… by the man he was threatening.

The shooting happened early Sunday morning in the parking lot of a west Topeka apartment complex.

It all started when 29-year-old Albert Meade Jr. approached and demanded a ride from a 19-year-old man and 20-year-old woman who had just parked their car in the lot. Police say when the younger man refused, Meade pulled a gun. That’s when the victim pulled his own gun and shot Meade! Meade was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The couple were questioned by police and released.
