The robber was armed with a handgun and ordered the bank customers to lie face-down on the ground, Commander Ron Saunier said. + Officers ordered the man to get out of the vehicle multiple times, over a period of about a minute, Saunier said. The suspect did not comply with orders to get out. + According to Saunier, the suspect made a "threatening maneuver” and an officer believed he had a gun. Saunier said it was difficult to see into the car because the windows were tinted. = Good shoot. |

Reminds me of an old timer I knew once who apprehended a bank robber after a foot chase. He had the suspect cornered in a drainage ditch. He was kind of winded and hadn't put the suspect into cuffs yet. The robber told the Deputy he was not going to go back to prison and he was going to take the Deputy's duty weapon. The Deputy got on the radio and informed Dispatch that it was almost quitting time so he was just going to go ahead and kill the suspect and let second shift deal with it. Dispatch laughed out loud over the radio. The robber immediately surrendered.
No, he wasn't joking. The old guy had no sense of humor at all. Bank robbers need to understand that getting shot by crotchety old timers who want to be home in time for Jeopardy is an occupational hazard. |
