A gunman who allegedly tried to rob four people in restaurant parking lot accidentally shot himself in the head as he tried to get away, police said.
The suspected gunman was run down by one of his victims, causing him to unwittingly shoot himself in the head. [snip]
Amir Obeid, manager of Denny's, decribed the incident as 'viglante justice' 'I'm not going to say any prayers for the suspect because he kind of got what's coming to him, you know,' Obeid told KABC. [snip]
Luitenant Ti Goetz from Hawthorne police said: 'He's running away from the scene with a gun in his hand when the victims chased him in the car.
'When they struck him it launched his body up in the air and somewhere in that process, the gun in his hand fired, resulting in him getting a bullet in the head.'
The suspect is in a critical but stable condition in hospital, where he is under arrest.

Just watched that last night. It's available in Netflix streaming.
No matter how many times I watch, I always see something I missed before.
Sounds to me like the getaway plan wasn't well executed.
The British media are always the best sources for American news.
Hell we should say prayers for the poor bastard BECAUSE he got what was coming to him.
I call this: When good things happen to bad people.
Notice how he saved a CCW licenseholder a bullet?

The furious victims will be even more furious when they are locked up for 10-20 years for going after the criminal.

The suspect approached a parked vehicle with 4 people inside. One woman got out of the car and ran to the restaurant. The suspect stood at an open passenger side door, when the driver backed up, moving the suspect. The suspect ran to a moving getaway car, which didn't stop for him. The victim driver took straight aim, plowing into the suspect. MUST SEE VIDEO!!!!!!!!
Yep, one robbery plan shot to hell.
Nice friends the thug had, eh?
He needs to do a better job of picking his getaway ride next time.
Not a ping.
The getaway driver must have been unclear on the concept. Associate robs victims. Associate runs back to car. The plan is to stop, and let the associate in, and drive away with the loot. Too complicated.
Reminded me of the latest GEICO Ad with the getaway car in it.
