Police: Security guard with assault rifle kills 2 suspected robbers

02:27 PM CDT on Thursday, October 4, 2007
From Staff Reports


A parking lot security guard shot and killed two suspected robbers with an assault rifle Wednesday night in a strip mall near Executive Airport.

2200 West Red Bird Lane Police said the incident started around 11:30 p.m. when three men attempted to rob the security guard in the parking lot of the shopping center in the 2200 block of West Red Bird Lane.

Two of the three men got out of their car, pointed a gun at the security guard and told him to get out of his vehicle, Dallas police Sgt. Ray Beaudreault said. The security guard then pulled out an automatic rifle, fatally shooting one of them. The other fled on foot.

The third man began to drive away when the security guard, who told police he feared for his life, shot and killed the driver, Sgt. Beaudreault said.

The suspect who fled on foot returned to the vehicle about 15 minutes later to retrieve his cell phone. That’s when police arrested him and charged him with aggravated robbery, police said.

Sgt. Beaudreault said it was unlikely that the guard would be charged in the deaths but the case would be referred to a grand jury.

No names were immediately available.
The rifle the security guard used was a semi-auto SKS, not an automatic assault rifle.

Didn't see that one, but it's a great story!

Of course the Brady's will probably add this to their statistics of "Children killed by guns" and "Assault Weapon fatalities"
