He had just returned from a winning day at Horseshoe Casino Baltimore. The assailant followed the great grandfather from the gaming venue to rob him, and the wound turned out to be fatal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Clarence Joseph Buckner, 65, unsuccessfully struggled with the bandit. But the robber fired at least one shot at the man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buckner leaves behind 12 children, 25 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He was a recently retired cook for the cafeterias in the Baltimore public schools.<\/p>\n<p>He also leaves behind a widow, Elizabeth Buckner.<\/p>\n<p>Buckner recalled the incident to local TV station <em>WBFF<\/em>, saying that as she opened the door to pick up the mail, an armed man then made his way into the house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe came from the other side of the door, the left side of the door, and he came in with the gun pointing. He came and sat over here and told my husband, \u2018You know what I\u2019m here for. Give me your money,&#8217;\u201d Elizabeth Buckner told <em>WBAL<\/em>, another local station. \u201cHe grabbed me by my sleeve and said, \u2018You got 20 seconds or I\u2019m going to kill your wife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy husband gave him the money he had in his pocket, and he said, \u2018No, not that. I know you got more money,&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Robber on the Loose<\/h2>\n<p>Clarence Buckner then was able to distract the bandit. Elizabeth Buckner rushed to a nearby house to call police.
