LAUREL, Md. -- A would-be robber shot by an Anne Arundel County property/gas station owner early Tuesday has died from his injuries. Anne Arundel County police spokesman Justin Mulcahy said a 29-year-old man entered the store portion of a gas station in the 3400 block of Laurel Fort Meade Road at about 3:30 a.m. The building included a Dunkin' Donuts store along with a Baskin-Robbins.
"The suspect entered the store in the early-morning hours and announced a robbery. He implied that he had a weapon," Mulcahy said. "At a certain point the suspect and the 48-year-old property owner got into some sort of altercation, some struggle if you will, which resulted in the suspect being shot."
No other injuries have been reported. The decedent's identity was not immediately released, pending family notification, and the property owner's name was not released police did not charge him as of Tuesday afternoon.
"Once officers got on scene, they located an adult male suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the lower extremity. That victim was transported to Prince George's Shock Trauma. He was pronounced deceased there at the hospital," Mulcahy said.
...WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Rob Roblin said authorities are investigating whether security cameras at the store recorded the incident. The case remained under investigation Tuesday afternoon. The businesses reopened at about 1 p.m.
It does not say the owner had a gun, it said they struggled.
I suspect the perp shot “hisself” in the “lower abdomen” which is reporter jargon for a shot to the nuts and lower unit. He was trying to extricate his heater from his pants when it went of and made him a new man. If he had survived at least he would have still been able to be in Obama’s army sans pecker and stuff.
Whatever it made him, it wasn't a man.
Story doesn't say that. It said only that robber implied he had a weapon.
Maybe the good guy took the gun away from the bad guy or it went off during a struggle.
I believe that is what I said.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Looks like a good thread to do your magic

This other thread says he was shot in the parking lot. :-)

So many perps are shot there, or in the back alley. I never see these target zones while at the range. Who do I call?
