Who remembers that story from 1984?
Video of the shooting and interview from 2002
Reporter - "Any regrets?"
Gary - "No regrets at all"
Can't say I wouldn't do the same if it happened to one of my kids.

Plauche, 68, shot and killed his son's karate instructor at the Baton Rouge airport in 1984. The man, Jeffrey Doucet, was accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting Plauche's son, Jody.
Plauche waited for Doucet to be escorted back from California where authorities said Doucet had taken Jody Plauche before he was rescued and Doucet was arrested. He had been extradited back to Baton Rouge and was walking through the airport when Plauche, waiting by some payphones pulled out a gun and fired a shot.
Plauche was sentenced to five years probation and did not serve time in jail following the shooting. He maintained his actions were the natural response of a father who believed his son had been violated.
Gary Plauche died at a nursing home in East Baton Rouge where he had been living since having a stroke in 2011, family members said.
