Armed Robber Killed by Victim: Police
By Jeff Smith | Thursday, Mar 28, 2013 | Updated 1:02 PM CDT
One man is dead after a would-be armed robber was shot by the robbery
victim as he tried to steal the victim's SUV.
Police said the victim, whose name hasn't been released, had a gun
pressed against his head by the armed robber in the parking lot of the
Bel Air Place apartments on Dewberry Blvd. in Lancaster.
The robber forced the victim at gunpoint to take him to his upstairs apartment. The victim said the robber said he'd kill him if he didn't
give him "everything he had."
While being held in his apartment, the victim grabbed his own gun and
started shooting at the robber. The two exchanged gunfire inside the apartment and the shootout continued to the breezeway and down into
the parking lot.
Witnesses said the robber and the victim exchanged seven or eight
shots during the incident.
Police say the robber was shot and killed while trying to steal the
victim's SUV.
"It is under investigation, but everything leads us to believe that is
was a robbery attempt and he was the victim," said Lt. Kelly Hooten
with the Lancaster Police Department.
The victim's name hasn't been released by police and he hasn't been
charged with a crime.
He returned to his apartment around 7:30 a.m. Thursday after being interviewed by police. He wouldn't give his name, but agreed to talk
about what he was thinking during the robbery attempt.
"I was scared for my life," he said. "He pressed a gun against my head
and told me to give me everything I had."
"Wouldn't you be scared too, if there was a gun pressed against your
head?" he said.
