WBAP News/Talk 820 - The News & Talk of Texas: "Grand Prairie (AP) -- Police are holding a suburban Dallas man on suspicion of capital murder while they check his account of why he shot two men dead Tuesday.

The Grand Prairie man, who police say is in his 60s, told officers that he shot the two men during an attempted robbery. He told investigators that the men took him against his will from his home to an ATM and forced to withdraw cash.

Police Detective John Brimmer says the man had a concealed pistol and said he used it when he felt his life was threatened. He says one of his captors had a baseball bat.

Police say the man -- who was not injured -- has a concealed-weapons permit. They've identified one of the men killed as 40-year-old Wesley Lewis Duncan of Cleburne.

Brimmer says the other dead man was wearing a ski mask. His identity hasn't been released.
