Money says the dead perp had a record.

If ever there was a reason for a "Golf Clap" smilie, this is it! Maybe he had a record(most likely), but it's for Damned sure he won't be out doing this ever again!

Actually a customer shot him

Actually a customer shot him

Article currently says they are trying to figure out wether the owner or a customer shot the robber.

As long as it is a valid shoot, I am glad the good guys won and the scum is gone

Actually a customer shot him

That's un-possible. What'shername Bloomberg Shill says that people never use guns to defend anyone.

Now the article title says "Person shoots, kills robbery suspect at Indiana pawn shop."

Fox 59 now reporting that IMPD has confirmed that it was a customer that shot and killed the would-be robber. The customer is now downtown being questioned by police.

I'm curious if BehindBlueI's will be working this case.

Unclear for now exactly who pulled the trigger, but at least it's clear that the bad guy was the casualty and nobody else was hurt - good!

 

[Yup!]

There are a lot of facts still missing, but if it's a justified shooting then I thank the customer for being willing to step up.

Money says the dead perp had a record.

Now that's a big time gamble.

If it was a customer it was probably a deal where the bg was so intent on getting the loot that he completely neglected to look around for other threats. Dang! He must have thought he was in Illinois, New York or Maryland. Living in Indiana makes it extremely dangerous to neglect others in the store. I read a story a year or so ago about a hold up attempt at a convenience store in Indiana where the thugy boy walked up to the counter and stuck a pistol in the clerk's face. A customer in line nonchalantly pulled his gun and shot the dude in the side. He lived and was arrested.

Doubt it.
