FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Fayetteville police say the tables quickly turned on two would-be purse-snatchers when more than a dozen of the victim's family and friends attacked the suspects.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that two men flashed a handgun and tried to rob Maria Guevara of her purse outside an apartment complex shortly after midnight Monday. That's when 10 to 15 family members and friends rushed to her aid.
Police say one the alleged robbers fired into the crowd, prompting a chase that led to the suspects being captured, beaten, shot, and stabbed.
One of the suspects was treated and released from a local hospital. The other was listed in critical condition Tuesday.
