Masked gunman shot dead by store owner

[damien]

I love reading the Herald, there is always something interesting happening in Miami. Don't mess with guys named Diaz. This sort of thing seems to be happening more often.

Miami-Dade police Wednesday were investigating the death of an armed, ski-masked man who was shot by the owner of a South Miami-Dade grocery store, apparently while trying to rob the store.

It happened Tuesday evening. The would-be robber pointed the gun at the store clerk at Diaz Groceries at the corner of Southwest 268th Street and 135th Avenue, according to Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS4 The grocery store owner, who was nearby, pulled out a firearm and shot the man, according to police reports. The man died on his way to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Late Tuesday, homicide investigators remained on the scene interviewing witnesses.

Considering the tropical climate, anyone wearing a ski mask in Miami should be shot on sight just on principle.

Oh the poor little lost soul, shot by a trigger happy store owner, all he wanted was money to feed his hungry family and he was so embarrased that he covered his face in shame for what he was doing. Lets get rid af all guns and preach peace among all. Down with the second ammendment. Disarm the police and Armed Forces, that way we will show thw world we are a civilized nation
