Kevin "Biggs" Thomas was shot in the head on Monday night - and he clung to life until about noon today when he died from that head injury.

The 36 year old was shot close to home on Monday night - as he was buying at a neighborhood store near the the Yabra Bridge.

The youth who shot him didn't get far tho. A special constable in the area shot him in the leg with his licensed firearm. The youth was making a dash for his getaway car at the time.
