Pete LaCock's career almost ended in 1978 when he & his 8.5 month pregnant wife went out after a game, were robbed at gunpoint, and Pete went after the robber, wrestled and ended up killing the robber.
Even though LaCock was a popular player there was strong feelings in KC at the time that he should face murder charges. After a week it was ruled justifiable homicide.
The kid was born with no problems and I guess will be 29 this summer.
Man, I'm getting old.
