A Korean compatriot in Paraguay in his 70s, a Vietnam War veteran, shot down armed thieves who broke into the workplace and also helped arrest one of the gang members.
According to local media in Paraguay such as ABC Color and the Korean Embassy in Paraguay on the 10th (local time), on the afternoon of the 6th, a trio of thieves broke into the butcher shop of a 70-year-old Korean man located in San Lorenzo, near Asuncion, the capital.
A, who lived right next to the workplace, noticed the intrusion through a broken lock and CCTV, and confronted the thieves with his gun.
In the process, Mr. A and the residents worked together to catch one out of three people and handed it over to the police, and the other two fled.
The CCTV footage released by the local media at the time showed that the criminals who were running away in a car fired at Mr.
Local media reported that the criminals who left the scene in a hurry took only some of the items they were trying to steal and ran away.
One suspect was arrested and had eight criminal convictions.
Mr. A believes that the same gang broke into his workplace last month as well.
"The victim is a veteran of the Vietnam War from the Marine Corps, and fortunately there were no injuries," said Hwang Yun-ha, police consul at the Paraguay embassy in Paraguay.
In Paraguay, if certain conditions are met, you can possess a firearm with permission from the authorities, and the embassy said that Mr. A's firearm is also a registered firearm.
