Area man killed in robbery attempt in Ohio
St. Louis Today
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man shot to death this week when he tried to rob a family in their Ohio motel room was a parolee wanted in St. Louis County, the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported Friday.
An arrest warrant had been issued for Wayne Winston, 25, of Florissant, in August because he moved out of state without permission while on probation, Jacqueline Lapine, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Corrections, told the newspaper.
Authorities in Ohio say Winston was shot and killed after he barged into a hotel room with a gun demanding money. There were six people in the room and they’d left the door open to the first-floor room ajar so the adults in the room could stay within earshot of two girls in the room next door.
One of the people in the room, a 70-year-old great-grandmother, reached into her purse on the floor, pulled out a .357-caliber Magnum handgun and shot Winston once in the chest, the newspaper reported.
Winston stumbled to the parking lot, where he was later pronounced dead.
The woman was interviewed at police headquarters and was released. Police have not identified her.

Winston had just been released from prison three months before that arrest after serving seven years for crimes that included burglary, stealing a firearm and three counts of stealing a motor vehicle, Lapine said.
Columbus police say they don’t expect to file charges against the woman who shot Winston […]
