Considering how shitty it is to be an armed robber, especially around the holidays. Looks like the words you could used for this article would be...Come Uppance.
Read and enjoy!
An off-duty Chicago police officer who was Christmas shopping at a crowded Kmart store Monday shot and killed a man who was trying to rob an armored car, police said.
Two men approached a United Armored Services employee as he was delivering money to the store in the Chicago suburb, police said.
A witness alerted the off-duty officer, who approached one of the men at the front of the store and identified himself. The gunman fired, then the officer fatally shot the gunman, Lansing Police Chief Dan McDevitt said. There were no other injuries.
"It looks to me like we've got a hero," McDevitt said.
He said the officer, who was not immediately identified, was shopping for Christmas gifts for children as part of a police program. It was not clear if the officer was in uniform, and police offered no further information.
United Armored Services did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
Police were still looking for the second suspect.
