ROBBERY UNDER ARMS.
The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington USA appeared to be the robber's first (and last), due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices: 1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms, A gun shop specialising in handguns. 2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers. 3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door. 4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a .22 target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, the police officer with a 9mm Glock 17, the clerk with a .50 Desert Eagle, assisted by several customers who also drew their guns, several of whom also fired, The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire. Here we are at the end of March and we already may have the 2005 winner of the Darwin Award for stupidity. This guy is going to be hard to beat. |

okay - 1990 and 10mm, not a Desert Eagle. i remember that event now. ya hadda wonder. a Desert Eagle is not a good defensive weapon, due in at least some part to the availability of ammunition that will both reliably expand and reliably cycle the gas-operated action. (i have a whole pile of .44 Magnum cartridges that would be potentially useful except they won't cycle reliably. FWIW - PMC StarFire will...) |
