Fultondale Homeowner Shoots Alleged Robber
A 66-year-old Fultondale man said someone tried to rob him and an acquaintance at knifepoint, so he shot and killed the 49-year-old alleged robber at 1325 Seventh Ave.
It happened at 1325 7th Avenue, where, police said, the 49-year-old suspect threatened the homeowner and his friend.
Police said the homeowner had been robbed in the past, so when the thief ordered him to go to a closet in search of more money, the homeowner was able to grab a gun and shoot the suspect, James Greg Aldridge.
Authorities said Aldridge had a long criminal history.
No charges have been filed against the homeowner.
