Sounds like a bogus story to me.

There are a lot of idiots in this world... but ya gotta be extra stupid to try and rob an armored car driven by an armed guard without havin' a gun yourself.

I also get a kick outta how tough everyone tries to sound every time a thread about a supposed crime gets posted here.

If the alleged robber didn't possess a deadly weapon of his own and wasn't threatening the life of the guard directly... I don't think the guard had the right to kill him. If we was... then by all means blast him.

Where'd ya hear this story larry... and where are the rest of the pertinent facts that would allow us to make a more reasonable judgement.
