Very poorly written story and headline. It appears that the criminal was shot by a security guard, so why was the DA considering charges against a cop, since there is no police officer mentioned in the story? 40 years ago, you would have found better writing and editing in a high school paper.

Yeah, there was another source ( couldn't post it ), that correcty ID'd him as a security guard, who also happens to be a retired sheriff deputy. Good job by the guard though, one less armed robber.

Deceased perp.

Couldn't have said it better...DITTO! There was a time where accuracy was the be-all & end-all in journalism. Now it's about gathering eyeballs on-line and page linger time for the ads. As others have pointed out, other articles/sources have clearly stated the security guard is a retired sheriff's deputy. The would-be robber totally failed at victim selection and the rest of society is better off with him out of the gene pool.
