In a situation like this, I think after all the legal proceedings are done, the guy who was the 'intended victim' but won the day, should get the shotgun for keeps...... if it isn't identified as stolen and returned to the original owner.
Shotgun robber no match for victim with handgun
Police say an armed robber got more than he bargained for Friday night when he targeted the wrong victim.
Just after 10 p.m. a 36-year-old man was confronted by a robber with a shotgun in the parking lot of the Walgreens located in the 3600 block of College. The man said the robber held the shotgun to his head and demanded money.
The man, a concealed handgun license holder, was able to get his handgun and fired one shot at the would-be robber. The robber dropped his shotgun and took off running fleeing south behind the store. The intended victim was not injured during this confrontation and he did not lose any property.
Patrol Officers set up a perimeter and with the assistance of our K-9 Unit began to search for the robber. An officer saw a man hiding behind a business near the area of Interstate 10 and Corley. The man matched the description of the robber. Police say the man also had a gunshot wound to his hip.
The original victim positively identified this man as the robber.
Beaumont EMS took the injured suspect to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth for treatment. Officers then took him to the county jail. He has been charged with aggravated robbery as well as two outstanding warrants for burglary of a habitation and a pending warrant for a previous unrelated aggravated robbery.
Officers also found a vehicle near the scene of the robbery that had been reported stolen.
Police say an investigation revealed that the man had used this stolen vehicle during the commission of Saturday night's robbery attempt.
