According to the homeowner’s account, he had a handgun pressed against his head and they wanted his possessions and his truck. Fearing for his life, he retrieved his own handgun and shot both of them. The attempted robbers have been identified as Jonathan Warren, 18, of Florissant and Lonnie Middlebrook, 20, of Ferguson. Warren’s handgun was recently reported as stolen and identified by police on his dead body.
