[Wheelgunner]

I read a news story today that might interest some of you.  A 72-year-old was able to end an armed robbery thanks to his carry weapon:

No good deed goes un punished

It is never a good idea to mess with an old man. He will kill you. Proof is in the report. I just wish he would have got both of them but 1 is better than none.....

How did the second accomplice get away with $1000?

You noticed that too? Been robbed before, still carries big cash, but now plus gun.

Keep in mind some older folks don't trust banks all that much.  Could have been the majority of his social security check or something.

What concerns me is that he basically said that he shot to kill.  Oh, it doesn't bother me that he did just that he came right out and said it - I hope that doesn't cause problems for him, later.

It also seems to me like the authorities could pressure the woman who was part of the setup into revealing the identity of the other person.  I wonder if this isn't a case where she could potentially face murder charges because she was part of a crime in which someone was killed.  That possibility should get her talking!

I betting once they inform her of the murder charge she will become a song bird and begin singing up a storm but that is just a guess. Some ladies ,women, girls can be as tough as many men when it comes to talking or giving up an accomplis in a crime. A lot of it will also depend on what her lawyer tells her to do I would think???...............JMHO

She should and probably will be charged with murder. I do wonder how the other guy got the cash if the first guy got shot while demanding it though.
