HANNIBAL, Mo. — A 45-year-old Missouri biker was reportedly killed by two other men when he tried to stop them from attacking a woman by the side of the road.

Rodney Wood was riding his motorcycle when he saw a woman being attacked, a family friend told the Hannibal Courier-Post. He pulled over to try to help, the paper reported.

But when Wood tried to intervene, the unidentified attackers apparently turned on him and killed him, according to the Courier-Post. Wood's body was found early Sunday morning in Hannibal, Mo.

The suspects, who are 21 and 22, were arrested Sunday.

Police have released few other details about the incident.

I'm not from MO. but am currently in St. Robert MO. visiting my son in the Army for a few days. He is a drill sargent now and can't take off much time so we are killing time here at his apartment till he gets off. It is to bad to here this about a fellow biker trying to do the right thing. Sure hope the guys who did this get what they deserve. In the old days those two would have a quick trial and a quicker end in MO. But now they will just be rehabilitated and released early for good behavior. There are bad people everywhere,we just need to weed them out and get on with life.
