Serial armed robber Laurence Turner, 34, walked into Alpine Bank in Rockford, Illinois, armed with a gun and wearing a ski mask.

As he pointed his pistol at staff behind the counter, Brian Harrison whipped out his gun and shot the criminal dead - all of which was caught on security footage.

Is it legal to shoot someone who is dead?

You've got to admit, the guard went from relaxed and chatting to blowing the guy to pieces in about .04 sec

That was a hell of a shot

A senior with a gun is the most dangerous. They will shoot first and ask questions later. Don’t mess with armed seniors whether they are guards or not.

I can never get a joke on here first :)

Dead robbers are the worst kind. You have to shoot them in the head or they’ll eat you.

I thought it was overkill - shooting the robber after he was already dead.

Old guys with guns-———fookin’ deadly. Good thing he wasn’t having someone else do his finances prohibiting him from possessing a firearm. Oh, wait. Didn’t they negate that “rule”? Nice work sir. Notice how the brit report kinda makes it sound like a bad thing.

The guy crawled out the front door. He was still alive until then.

Brings to mind the truism “Beware the man who has only one gun. He probably knows how to use it.”
