They suffered a breakdown of the victim-selection process. They probably thought that robbing old people would be easy. Maryland armed robbery victim allegedly shot teenage attacker in self-defense, authorities say | Fox News
Oh and legal concealed carry might have just put a stop to a crime spree.
Four armed suspects went to a senior center, and selected potential victims.
Once they approached the victim in question and demanded his personal belongings, however, their plan backfired. The victim discharged his registered weapon in what police believe to be self-defense, striking one 17-year-old robbery suspect.
Police arrested a 15-year-old and the injured 17-year-old fairly quickly. They were armed when arrested.
Police were able to identify the stolen vehicle they were using, and arrested a 16-year-old and another 17-year-old driving the vehicle.
The 16-year-old and two 17-year-old suspects are being charged as adults, and the 15-year-old is being charged as a juvenile.
Police are investigating whether the incident is related to other similar robberies and carjackings in the region.
What were you doing at 15 or 17 years of age? I'm guessing that it didn't include armed robbery.
Self-defense is a human-right.
