DALLAS -- Two teens are dead after police said they tried to rob a security guard patrolling a shopping center parking lot overnight.

Police said three men approached the security guard and told him to get out of his car just before midnight Thursday in the Golden Triangle Shopping Center near the intersection of West Redbird Lane and Highway 67.

The security guard obliged and then fired his rifle at them, hitting two of three, according to police. One of those shot by the guard was Sergi Vann, 19, who died shortly after arriving at Methodist Medical Center.

The other was identified as DeTavias Davis, 17, who was able to drive away after being shot. Police said another car crashed into his, and he also died shortly after arriving at Methodist Medical Center.

The third man returned to the scene, where police placed him in handcuffs and took him away. No charges have been filed.

The security guard is unharmed, according to police.

Looks like these guys got what they deserved. Other information has it that they had been committing other crimes in the neighborhood. The guard pulled his SKS from his car when they attempted to rob him. Initial news reports described the weapon as "an assault weapon". (of course)

Ambulance-chasers are converging on the site, even as we speak, as his "victim" clients were not afforded "due process rights".

Count on it....

Can't help laughing.

"Mr. Guard, we intend to rob you. Please exit your vehicle."

"Why sure boys."

Great minds think alike. I was just thinking: “Why do they always seem to have names like that?”

Angry white Methodist names, for sure.

He was a security guard, not a police officer. And he was about to be robbed.

I used to LOVE getting calls like this - the crimes came pre-solved.

And the criminals in south Dallas weren’t exactly the brightest of the bright.

Evolutionary pressures have generally made them a little smarter (dumber ones got shot), but as evidenced by this article, obviously not much...

...or on the football fields of major NCAA universities. But I guess that's almost the same thing after all.

I wonder if his employer knew he had that rifle and if he'll be working there tomorrow.

Texas just passed a law allowing the used of deadly force to defend your property. This might be the first use of that, however Texas already has a law allowing use of deadly force after sundown until sunup that was written during the days of horse thieves at night.
