EVERGREEN, Colo. -- The wife of an Evergreen man who was killed over an Xbox in Aurora is speaking out.

“He died protecting me,” Miranda Clymer said.

Clymer calls her late husband, Jacob, her hero. She said that in the frantic moments of the robbery, he drew gunfire away from her.

“I got the gun pulled on me because they wanted to rob us for our Xbox One,” Clymer said.

The Clymers had posted an ad for their Xbox on Facebook. They agreed to meet the prospective buyer, a teenager, on Halloween morning near Montview Boulevard and Billings Street in Aurora.

When Miranda got out of the car, they started talking about the price.

"Then he said give it to us and pointed the gun at me and I threw my hands up," Clymer said.

She said Jacob then pulled out his own gun.

“He drew the attention away from me and I really think he knew what exactly that entitled to come to,” Clymer said.

Seconds later, gunfire filled the air. Miranda said the teen shot her husband and took off. She rushed to Jacob’s side.

“I found him bleeding ... bleeding out,” Clymer said.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A man selling shoes online was beaten and robbed in Brooklyn and now police are searching for three suspects who allegedly carried out the brutal attack.

Authorities tell CBS2’s Clark Fouraker that the victim was using a popular app, ”Let Go,” which allows people to list and buy items from other users.

When a fight broke out between the seller and the three men, one of the suspects pulled out a hammer and struck the victim. The men then stole the sneakers and about $125 in cash.
