Twenty-five year old Clint O'Shields has assumed room temperature after attempting to rob an Alabama man at gunpoint.

A Chelsea man told friends and family he was turning his life around just days before he was shot to death while robbing a couple in their home.

Since this happened down South, O'Shields getaway driver (his wife) is charged with "one count of felony murder [because her husband was killed] and two counts of first-degree robbery". The homeowner will not be charged.

UPDATE: Steve Scudder sends a link to a story with a few more details. In a nutshell:
- It was 2 AM.
- The husband was tied up, wife held at gunpoint.
- The intruder was presumed to be chock full o' drugs.
- The husband freed himself, and then liberated his wife by perferating Mr. O'Shields.
- Shelby County D.A. Robby Owens had this to say: "If you're in your house, your own home, you're going to have a lot of freedom to protect yourself, especially your wife, your family and property"
