Repo Man Killed In Birmingham

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Repossessing a car can be dangerous
work.
      Birmingham police say a 28-year-old Pinson man was gunned down
early Thursday after he attempted to tow a repossessed car on 19th
Court North.
      Jefferson County deputy coroner Pat Curry said Jason McClendon
died just after 2 a.m.
      Police said McClendon and a co-worker attempted to tow the
vehicle and were confronted by the car owner and his brother.
      Police said when McClendon drove away, the unnamed suspect fired
a shot striking McClendon in the head. The gunman turned himself
into police and charges are pending.
      The homicide was the Birmingham's 2nd of the year.
