An Ohio criminal made the mistake of robbing a bank that had an armed, off-duty police officer inside — and loaded his gun with the wrong kind of ammunition.
The now-deceased 20-year-old Terry Frost III timed his robbery perfectly Wednesday, and knew the exact moment the teller withdrew $90,000 from the ATM. Police have now released surveillance footage of the shooting.
Frost sprinted into a Madison, Ohio bank and within seconds jumped the front desk, grabbed the bag, and then found himself on the receiving end of Officer Kevin Hankerson’s weapon.
Frost pointed his weapon, wrapped in a plastic shopping bag, at the officer and it misfired. Hankerson fired twice, hitting Frost once in the chest. The hapless criminal loaded the wrong ammo, investigators found, when they finally tracked down Frost, dead in a nearby wooded area, Cincinnati.com reports.
Investigators are still puzzled as to how Frost knew the exact moment when the teller would have $90,000 sitting out for him to snatch. They said it was very likely Frost tried to fire his .38 caliber Derringer during the robbery, because when they examined the weapon, they saw the firing pin had been struck. Frost had loaded .380 ammunition into the weapon.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said Friday the shooting was justified and the officer will not be brought before a grand jury.
“It was as clean a police-involved shooting as I’ve ever seen,” Deters said at a press conference.
“Officer Hankerson committed a great act of bravery in his actions and he should be commended for what he did,” he added
Mr Frost is now cooling off and will soon reach a constant temperature of near 55 degrees.
Or it may be a lot warmer where he is.
I see stupid people everywhere!
You are sort of right, and sort of wrong. It is a Demonazi educational system. They own it. From K thru College. But the Pubbies are not exactly blameless, they acquiesce in all things that the dems want, ALL. That is why the republican Party has outlived it's usefulness.
And he ain’t gonna get it now!
Great! Rofl

You don’t think he’ll get a “safe space?”
Excellent advice to Joe friday
He wasn’t a bad looking kid. Too bad his parents and his community ....blah, blah, blah. The democrats have killed another generation of these lost kids. He was only 12 years old when Obama came into office and started tearing down our country.
Times you wish FR had a like tag.

I should have finished the sentence: a 380auto is the same diameter AS A 38 Special, a 9 mm and a .357 magnum, or within a thousandth of an inch.
The “rimless” 380 is held in the chamber by the rim of the case where the bullet is seated. This is how the rimless 45ACP round is positioned in a 1911auto.
The 380 cartridge won’t fall through a 9mm or 38 because the brass case is .374 outside diameter.
The diameter of a chamber of a 380 barrel is slightly larger than .374 so the cartridge will fit in and rest against a .010 inch-high shoulder at the start of the barrel rifling.
“I attribute this level of ignorance to the abysmal government educational system.”
I doubt he paid much attention to formal education at ALL, whether abysmal or not. Not too bright with the street smarts, either! ;)
“but now he is the late Mr. Frost.”
You might say Mr.Frost is on ice! ;)
#40 Terry’s career as a bank robber and aspiring teacher is now over for good. Guess he never got a chance to repay his student loans, did he?
What a great example of Natural Selection.
Well, it said the primer was dented but the rounds didn’t fire, so I’m thinking it didn’t hit hard enough because it wasn’t held in place by a rim.
Yep and another mother asking where else is his son supposed get money for his weed and speed?
