CBC News - Toronto - Elderly vets thwart theft of poppy money

CBC News - Toronto - Elderly vets thwart theft of poppy money: "'I said, 'What are you doing here?' He said, 'Give me all your bills',' said John Dietsch, 84.

'And at that point, I didn't see the gun at first. Then I made a rush for him. And we struggled, and I was knocked down.'

Another veteran, Earl Gray, then wrestled the man to the ground, Dietsch said.

'I wasn't thinking,' said Gray, 64, when asked why he tackled the man. 'He had a gun, and John Dietsch grabbed him, and he went down, and then I was there, and … [it was] just instinct. I don't know. I just grabbed him."
