Armed Robber Fatally Shot

(Miami, Florida) An armed, ski-masked man has been shot.

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.

Uh, that's a shame. Hey, just because he was a scum-of-the-Earth armed robber doesn't mean he had to die. After all, Robin Hood was an armed robber and he's trumpeted as a legendary hero.
