ATLANTA — Former Marine Thomas Autry says he’s not a hero for pulling a knife and fighting back after a group of thugs attacked him on his late-night walk home from work.
The soft-spoken Desert Storm veteran was somber as he briefly talked to reporters Tuesday.

“I’m sorry this whole thing happened. I hate this world has gotten to the point where it is predatory,” said a shaken Autry.
