DEACON SAVES GRANDDAUGHTER FROM KIDNAPPERS

Wallace Bibbs, a 60 year old church deacon and retired school principal, had an argument with his 13 year old

granddaughter and she angrily stalked out of the house.  Days later he saw his granddaughter struggling to get out of a car to escape from one of the men who had held her for days and sexually abused her in a cheap motel room outside of Atlanta.  Bibbs pulled out his Taurus 9 mm and shot off a round.  The driver, Rodricus Martin, 31, is in Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital recovering from a bullet wound in his leg and facing charges of kidnapping, child abuse and

statutory rape.  Bibbs is charged with aggravated assault and is free on bail.
