A man trying to rob a South Valley ice-cream shop was shot and killed by an employee Thursday evening, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.
A deputy had just stopped a driver nearby when he heard the shots around 6 p.m. He rushed to the Dairy Queen at 427 Isleta SW, south of Bridge Boulevard, and found a man outside the restaurant with gunshot wounds, according to BCSO spokesman Sgt. Aaron Williamson.
“It does appear at this point it was a robbery gone wrong,” Williamson said.
Williamson said the man went to the Dairy Queen’s window with a gun and demanded money. The cashier gave him money and ducked behind the counter. The man then asked for more money. That’s when a different restaurant employee, “in fear of his own life,” fired at the robber, he said.
The man was struck at least once and died after being transported to University of New Mexico Hospital.
The robber did not fire, Williamson said. His identity was not released by the sheriff’s office.

The alleged perp has been ID’ed as one 26-year-old Abran Gallegos. The PD says he has “an extensive criminal history.”

Good riddance to him. One more thug removed from the planet.
A robbery gone wrong, a self defense gone right. It all depends on your POV.
I say it’s a “Robbery gone right.”

We could have some respect for Adnan if he robbed TV stations or newspapers. Then his robberies could “go right”.

Gee. Robbing an ice cream store is a “cold” story, like the robber’s body.

Anyway, good shooting by the DQ employee.

The worst part is the hell the employee, who defended himself and others by killing the perp will go through the rest of his life.
