FORT WORTH, Texas -- Police said a man who tried to rob a donut store was shot and killed by a man who lives near the store Friday morning. The robber broke into the store in the 100 block of Roberts Cut Off Road in West Fort Worth and terrorized the woman who was working there, police said. Police said the woman, Angel Randle, ran out the back door screaming for help.

The neighbor heard the pleas, grabbed his shotgun and then fatally shot the robber, police said. “This is the second time this month she’s been robbed,” witness Raymon Farrell said. “And, God bless her soul, she’s still alive.” A River Oaks officer was passing by the scene and witnessed the shooting. Investigators said they questioned the neighbor, but don’t expect to arrest him.

I’ve been saying for a long time that we are moving to the suburbs and losing our sense of community!

Was his name Robert? That would make it perfect.

I wonder if it had been the same robber on the last robbery. If so, he won’t do it a third time.

Amazing! What were the chances that the robber would enter a donut store and not encounter a cop?

A doughnut shop is sacred ground to the police..

Not only won't he get charged, he'll probably get a commendation.

Somehow, this makes my morning cup of coffee more enjoyable. I think I’ll go get a donut and eat the ‘”hole” thing..

"donut store"

"A River Oaks officer was passing by the scene ..."

"passing by"...sure, ok, if the article says so - two incompatible phrases in my opinion.

Not a smart move on the part of the robber ... donut shops are the second most highly guarded places, after Fort Knox.

It won't matter ... the word gets around among thieves, who will select easier targets.

If this happened in any other state, he’d probably be charged since it wasn’t actually his property.

There is a common law principle for the defense of yourself OR OTHERS in imminent danger or harm.

The woman called for help.

With proper representation it will not even come to a grand jury in many places despite the best attempts of wacko Prosecutors.

Best regards,

You should eat the part around the hole. It's the best part.

"It happened at 2:30 in the morning, the shop was not open."

It doesn't matter that it wasn't open. You have to trust me, I know this for a fact. Cops freqently stop and check on the status of early morning bakers. Bakers are one of the few people around after the bars close. Donut shop bakers also have access to a very fresh, precious item, as well as hot coffee.

Any other Freepers have personal knowledge/experience that can back me up on this?
