Shady Foreclosure Rescuer Shot Dead

A Florida man who allegedly delved into shady foreclosure rescues met his demise in an array of bullets.

Hydra Lacy, a 6-foot 4-inch, 270-pound registered sexual offender who had engaged in some questionable real estate investing, was holed up in his estranged wife's home in a gun battle that left two police officers dead, a U.S. Marshal wounded, and the home leveled.

Police used hydraulic arms and a front loader to bash in the attic of the 1,658-square-foot home in the St. Petersburg Bayview Terrace neighborhood.
