Dayton Man Fights Back During Robbery Attempt
POSTED: 12:16 pm EDT June 3, 2005
UPDATED: 12:33 pm EDT June 3, 2005
DAYTON, Ohio -- A Dayton man fought back against two
suspects who police said were trying to rob him early
Friday morning. The incident happened around 1 a.m. at
the intersection of Catalpa and Riverview.
Police said the victim opened fire, hitting one of the
suspects multiple times.
Investigators said the victim was walking down the
street when, he said, someone came up behind him and
pushed him. He said when he turned around, there were
two men standing there who demanded his money with a
gun.
The victim told police that he pulled out his
.40-caliber handgun and fired off close to 10 rounds,
striking one of the men. Officers said the men ran
off, but were later found at Good Samaritan Hospital.
Authorities said one of the suspects is a 17-year-old
who suffered multiple gunshots and remains
hospitalized. Officers said they also arrested two
16-year-olds who they said was driving a stolen car.
Police said that all three men face charges of armed
robbery. Investigators do not plan to charge the
victim for shooting the gun, because police believe
the man was acting in self-defense. They said the
victim also had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
At this time, police are looking for the gun that was
used in the attempted robbery.
