A hero indeed. If you only have one answer in your Rolodex, you will react quickly.

Am I the only one wondering about the car door not being locked?
The dad did an excellent job protecting is family, but lock your doors! If the door had been locked and that prevented the dead BG from getting in the car, the dad might still be alive.

Was dad in driver's seat? Right handed or left handed? Carrying in a holster? A detailed forensic analysis would be really interesting. |

Should have just given them the money. Dude just opened the car door and got in? Major situational awareness fail on their part. At that point, he's already got the drop on you.

I agree he should have tried giving them the money first. Don't know how it went down. Mabe he did, but I know that if your kid
gets in the car they won't likely think to lock the door. |

He prevented his child and wife from being raped / killed at some location the carjacker said to drive to. That man did what was necessary to protect his family. It's tragic that he lost his life but he did protect them. Never, EVER allow yourself to be taken to a second crime scene. |

From what I read so far and leaving out the possibility of any sudden release of information that might completely change the story.
He did what a man should do, he eliminated a violent threat and saved his family. Sure it cost him his life, but he did it anyway, he did not gamble with what if I go along.. maybe he will let us live.. he did not yield, he acted. |

They were in a shopping center going to eat. Car looks like it was parked in a spot (from the news video on the scene) so the doors may have opened when the car stopped. (some makes of auto will automatically unlock all the doors when put into park or the engine is turned off). Lady in the video looks middle class Anglo (so not the typical drug thug). I'd say they were in the wrong place at the wrong time just trying to get something to eat.
I am very sad that a good man died protecting his wife and daughter from a P.O.S. robber. May that criminal scum burn forever in Hell... 
Regarding "Give me everything." You can always toss the wallet out the car if that is all the bad guy really wants, but If Bad Guy wants you to drive to someplace secluded, a much worse scene may await for his wife and daughter. Dad was in a no win situation, but put his life on the line to do all he could to fight to keep his wife and child safe. Kudos to Dad for giving his all to protect his family and may he have the satisfaction of knowing from heaven that he sent that robbing shitbird to Hell. BIGGER_HAMMER

Everyone wants to live on, but some realize there are worse things than death. They arm themselves with full knowledge that in a gun fight you`re likely to be shot, possibly killed. The father/husband in this story was one of these people. He apparently never said to himself "I`m a free man until someone points a gun at me and my family, then I will be their slave". |

Few details.
He may very well have stalled to get the best situation he was going to get in order to defend his family and then went offensive. Scum that jump in cars and point guns at you are likely not after money. They are car jacking / kidknapping. Your best chance at a good resolution is right now. |

Most of the time, the guy robbing does NOT want to kill you; otherwise he would have done it already. In that situation, give all of the material things that you have, because it is NOT worth your life. Also, do people not believe in locking their doors, especially when there is special cargo (daughter) on board?
This is where the father failed: A. Not locking the doors B. Poor situational awareness C. Not complying with demands This is where the father passed: A. Not having another's will imposed on him B. Protecting his family C. Taking one more piece of shit fuck stain off the street I firmly believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is a prime example of being unprepared and prepared at the same time. The father did what he thought was right, paid for it with his life, but was able to protect his daughter and wife. |
