PLANTATION -- One gunman is dead and another is in critical condition after they tried to rob a sandwich store and were shot by an armed customer Wednesday night, authorities said.
Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale, and Fredrick Gadson, 21, of Fort Lauderdale, entered a Subway restaurant at 1949 N. Pine Island Rd. and demanded money at gunpoint about 11:17 p.m., said Detective Robert Rettig, a police spokesman.
They then attempted to rob the lone customer, John Lovell, 71, of Plantation, by forcing him into the restroom, but Lovell, who was legally armed, pulled his gun and fired, police said.
Arrindell collapsed at the scene, while a police K9 unit found Gadson hiding in a hedge in front of a nearby bank at the Jacaranda Square shopping center, officials said.
Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center, where Arrindell died.
Gadson was in critical but stable condition, investigators said.
Police said Lovell

Serves him right for trying to rob cotton, or whatever crop they were trying to grow.
Oh, never mind /Emily Litella
The retired Marines have been busy this week. Says alot about the training they received and never forgot.
John Lovell keeps it real and yet is left propsless by the MC community.
This old devil dog needs to go back to the range. Can’t believe he didn’t properly dispatch the second miscreant.
I can see Chuckyyy Shummmeer with his face in the TV cameras:
Guns kill
did he have a permit?
shot innocent robers
robbers abused in their chawhood
did he read them their rights
abused robers free speech
guns kill
ban guns
yadayadayada... daaaa.... da
LOL. Had I the time, I would pen one. Otherwise, kudos to this retired Marine and the 2d Amendment...
I don’t care what they say about this place, I love Florida.
But I wonder how one armed old guy shot two armed young guys.
The only Ex Marine I know is Murtha
That’s easy. The armed old guy is a Marine-—Inactive. The 2 armed young guys were just punks who messed with the wrong guy.
EXCELLENT....wish he could of killed both ......
Don’t mess with a Marine. I don’t care how old they are.
I dont care what they say about this place, I love Florida.Heh... when I used to live in the city some friends were mugged. The muggers were so scared of the victims they never let the victim face them.
But I wonder how one armed old guy shot two armed young guys.
I'll guess experience and range time heavily favored the " old guy". The thugs probably picked up all of their firearms training from video games and/or rap videos.
