A concealed carry permit holder stopped an armed robber Sunday at a San Antonio, Texas mall after the perpetrator shot and killed an unarmed man.
According to News 4 San Antonio , two armed men tried to rob Kay Jewelers at the Rolling Oaks Mall just after 3:30 p.m. local time.
An unarmed Good Samaritan attempted to intervene to stop the robbery but was shot and killed by one of the suspects. Another man with a firearm shot and injured the suspect who allegedly killed the unarmed man. According to News 4, the second suspect fled and is still at large.
“It’s absolutely senseless. Absolutely senseless. This is the second time that a Good Samaritan was killed trying to intervene in a crime to help the victim,” said San Antonio Police Chief Willaim McManus. “It’s absolutely senseless.”
The wounded suspect left behind was taken to the hospital in critical condition. A male shooting victim and female who suffered a heart attack during the incident were transported to receive medical care.
