I will try to stop it." The encounter began when the couple walked to their front door and a man with a gun jumped from behind a vehicle parked in the driveway and told them to "Hold it there,” Acker said The man ordered the couple inside, but a burglar alarm went off As the distracted gunman turned away, Acker pulled his own gun out ot a waistband "Things were coming apart tor him. I had a gun and pulled it out He saw that and we started scuffling," Acker said Acker tried to throw the gun man through a big plate glass window and dropped the gun into a chair His wife picked it up and started aiming "I think he realized his time was running out and he headed toward the door,” Acker said Carol Acker tired one shot at the running man and three in the air Acker took the gun and fired one more parting shot at the man “I decided she was wasting time firing in the air," he said The man, who never looked back, cried out and fell a couple times, the Ackers said, but did not fire at them No blood was found and Tacoma police say they don't think the man was hit Acker broke a foot in the scuffle The man indicated he wanted drugs, said Acker, adding, "I am thinking of getting out of this (pharmacy) business After a while, the odds might not be in our favor " Friday, November 12,1982
