Armed crook loses life in tangle with Marine Vet
By Susan Caroll - Houston ChronicleKenneth Kobobel Sr., a 72-year-old Marine veteran, had yet to put on his eyeglasses when he heard a knock at the door of his office in a northwest Houston strip mall around 9:45 a.m. on Friday.
The great-grandfather was chatting with his brother inside the office, making plans for the day, and figured the towering man waiting outside was one of his workers coming to collect his Friday paycheck.
But when Kobobel opened the door, a man he had never seen before forced his way inside and put a 9mm handgun to his forehead.
