SANTA MONICA, Calif. - A man who tried to rob two people at gunpoint in a fast-food restaurant drive-thru was shot and killed by one of his intended victims early Thursday, police said. The 25-year-old man died at the scene. His name was not immediately released pending notification of his family.
The victims, two men, were in the Santa Monica drive-thru shortly before 5 a.m. "when a masked suspect approached their vehicle and displayed a knife and handgun," said police Lt. Frank Fabrega. A struggle ensued, and the suspect stabbed the passenger in the hand. The driver then pulled out a handgun and shot the suspect, who fled on foot and collapsed a short distance away, Fabrega said. Police said the gun used to shoot the suspect belonged to the intended victim, but it was unclear whether he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. | 5am..drive-thru..SoCal..bad guy may have tried sticking up a gang banger |
The incident was under investigation.
I think it is as funny as heck to have an incident like this reported by such an anti-gun person as Handel. Handel is good on the WOT, but has some liberal leanings in other areas...
Later news. Police determine it was self defense. The procecutor is trying to determine if he will file (has a chance in hell of a conviction) a misdemeanor concealed weapons charge... |
